If anyone is interested, here is the full text from Part 4 of yesterday's activity. If you would like to hear the piece again, CLICK HERE.

If you would like to visit the original source of the material, it's from Microsoft Office Training (http://office.microsoft.com); click on "training".

Microsoft offers free online for most of their office products, not just Word. In addition, the training is offered in several different language; click on "Office Worldwide" to move to a different language.

You can add two types of watermarks to a document: a picture or text. You insert both from the Printed Watermark dialog box (on the Format menu, Background submenu).

For pictures, you can choose from any image on your hard disk or from clip art in the Microsoft Clip Organizer. Once you've selected the image, you can optionally scale it and wash it out so that it's not as visible behind text.

For text, you can select the text you want from the drop-down list or type your own text, and select font, size, and color the same way you do with regular document text. You can also set transparency and diagonal or horizontal layout.

Once it's inserted, you can see your watermark in print layout view (click Print Layout on the View menu), or in the printed document.
