Insert watermark

Whether secret files, confidential or just a text draft, there is often the desire to mark documents accordingly with a watermark.

With LibreOffice, digital watermarks can be created as text on the computer.

On the genesis of watermarks.

Insert text as a watermark

We open Writer.

In the menu we choose Format ▸ Watermark….

The "Watermark" dialog appears.

In the field for the text we write "CONFIDENTIAL".

In the field "Font" we select the font "GOOD TIMES".

The other specifications for "Angle = 45 °", "Transparency = 50%" and "Color = # C0C0C0" can be retained or changed as desired.

You click on OK.

Sample page with text "VERTRAULICH" [DE] = ("CONFIDENTIAL").

The word "CONFIDENTIAL" is then also displayed on all subsequent pages.

Possible texts as watermarks

Instead of the above-mentioned text CONFIDENTIAL any other text and any other font can be used.

Here are some common examples:

  • Example
  • Draft
  • Secret
  • Copy
  • Do not copy
  • Not public
  • Original
  • Private
  • Top secret
  • Confidential
