Create watermark libreoffice writer 5.3.3.2

  • 772

I'm currently using LibreOffice writer 5.3.3.2 running Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on a ASUS X550LA laptop, and want to insert a watermark reading "DRAFT" into, or behind the text in a text document. All help files and youtube I can find say:- Format>page>background... and here it fails as I do not have a tab for background.

I do have:- Organizer, Page,Area Transparency,Header, Footer, Borders,Columns, Footnote.

I'd really appreciate any help.

  1. This short video should be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXdxK9JCW6Q

    You need to have an image as a watermark (white image with "Draft" written in light gray on it, for example)

    You can download some images with Draft, Urgent, and so written in it, here > http://www.apertura.co.nz/libreofficewatermarks

    EDIT: I just upgraded to the Version: 5.4.x.x of LibreOffice, So now, You just need to go to > Format > Watermark, then a window open where you input the text you want for your watermark and choose the color of the watermark (which is a lot faster and easier)
