Erin, You're the best! I am hearing impaired so the fact that you speak at a rate which I can fully grasp each word and you clearly articulate each word really helps me. Further, the captions help too! Simply put, each time I need some guidance in MS Word I go to You Tube, then look for you! See ya next time...!

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

There is no preview to see the watermark changes with brightness and contrast so i have no Idea how it looks before I save it....

[@erinwrightwriting]

Yes, working with watermarks can be a bit of a trial-and-error process. Thank you for watching!

[@julkarninejulkar4432]

Hallo, can this watermark be seen on photocopy paper in sunlight?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! That will depend on the opacity you set the watermark and the capabilities of your printer. Thank you for watching!

[@scratchgolf29]

How is this done in Office365 Mac edition?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! In Word for Mac, the Watermark button is in the Design tab. The Insert Watermark dialog box looks a bit different than the PC version, but most of the options are the same. Watermarks aren't available in the online version of Word. Have a great day!

[@xzypergods9867]

how can you make the watermark not washout ??

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! To remove the washout, select > Design > Watermark > Custom Watermark > deselect "Washout" if it is a picture or "Semitransparent" if it is text > Apply. Best of luck!

[@yukicake5594]

PLEASE HELP! I get to the insert picture but when i select something nothing pops up, my files do not appear or anything! I came to this video and was shocked about how this didn't work for me!

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I am not sure why your Insert Picture dialog box isn't appearing. That could be an operating system issue rather than a Word issue. If you are a Microsoft 365 subscriber, consider reaching out to Microsoft support; perhaps it is a known issue they can help you with. I wish you all the best!

[@Everythingps]

what to do is someone dont want wash out

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! If you don't want any transparency, select Design > Watermark > Custom Watermark > Text Watermark > uncheck Semitransparent > OK. Thank you for watching!
