 How
to use a custom watermark on different pages in your document
When you add a watermark to a document in Word 2007, by default, it will be
added to your entire document. Therefore if you add a watermark to your document
it seems that you have no control over where it will appear. Sometimes this is
not what you want. Having the words confidential or do not copy spread across a
title page or even a contents page does not always look good. In this tutorial I
will show you step by step instructions on how to remove a watermark from one
page in your document and also how to put a custom watermark on different pages.
Once you know how to do this, you will be the one in control of watermarks in
your document.
If you do not know how to add a watermark to a Word 2007 document then please
see
Add a watermark to Word 2007.
The first thing we will need to do is separate the pages with a section
break. This way when we add a watermark it will only apply to the pages in the
document that belong to a particular section. So in this example I am going to
separate the title page and the table of contents pages from the rest of the
document and not have a water mark on those first few pages.
How to separate the pages with a section break?
- Go to the end of the title page
where you want to insert the section break.
- The section break will be inserted
after or below where you have clicked your cursor on the
page.
- Then go to the page layout tab.
- Press the drop down arrow next
to Breaks.
- Choose Next Page from under the
section breaks heading.
- To see the section break when you insert it
go to the home tab. Press on the Paragraph marks
button that shows all the formatting like spaces and sections breaks in the
document. See the screenshot below.
- Now you will be able to see the
section break that you have inserted at the bottom of the title
page.
- Insert another section break at
the bottom of the contents page.
- The screenshot below shows the section
break, the footer of the first title page and the header of the next
page.
- Now that we have inserted section breaks we
will want to separate the sections or unlink them. I want to
separate the Introduction which is the start of the content, from the title
and table of contents pages.
- First we need to go to the Introduction
page. Double click in the header area of
the page to activate this area for formatting. See my screenshot below. It
shows a button that says Same as Previous.
- If you go to the top menu now. You can see
everything has changed and there is a Design tab. If we press on
Link to Previous the Same as Previous button will
disappear. This will unlink this page and any pages after it from the
previous pages.
- If I press on Link to Previous again
the button will appear again and we will be linking the pages
together in the same section again.
- To go back to the page and get out of
the header simply click on the page area.
How to remove a watermark from one page in your
document?
In this example I am using since I have
separated the document into sections I can simply add a water mark to the
section section only. Or if I had already added a watermark, then separated the
pages into sections, I can still remove the watermark. For example if I wanted
to remove the watermark from the title section, simply double click in the
header area, click on the watermark and move your cursor until it turns into a
cross. Right click your mouse and a menu will appear. Choose cut. This will cut
the watermark from this section and leave it in the other. If you try to remove
the water the same way you put it there it will be removed from the whole
document.
How to put a custom watermark on different pages in your
document?
In this example I have linked the title page and
the table of contents in the same sections, while the rest of the contents of
the book is in another separate section. Therefore when I add a watermark and I
want it on the second section I must be on that page, then add the watermark.
Then I can go to the title page and click there and then add a different
watermark to that page.
