How to Insert Watermark in Google Docs – Guide
Microsoft Word has a handy feature called “Insert Watermark” that lets you simply insert any brand’s logo image or a text stamp that is faded into the reverse side of the content of each page of the document. A company policy may require its employees to watermark it to show if any documents are in draft form or if the document is confidential and not intended for external distribution.
