Edit a watermark

Note: A watermark is part of the header, even though it appears in the middle of the page. 

1. Double-click near the top of the page to open the header.

2. Click the watermark to select it and do one of the following:

• Drag the watermark rotation or sizing handles to change its position on the page.

• Select the WordArt tab to edit the text if it's a text watermark.

• Select the Picture Format tab to edit the image if it's a picture watermark.

Editing a watermark isn't currently possible in Word for the web. You can, however, add a watermark in the desktop app.

• To open the desktop app, at the top of the ribbon, select Editing > Open in Desktop App.
