Introducing a subtle touch of sophistication by embedding a watermark within your Excel files enhances their professionalism and asserts your copyright.

Positioned discreetly behind the content, Watermark remains unobtrusive, adding a subtle blur to fortify and protect without hindering readability.
I. Activating Watermark: A Step-by-Step Guide
To apply a Watermark on an Excel file, utilize the Header & Footer feature to position the watermark at the top and bottom. This feature is present in various Excel versions, including older releases.
Step 1: Open the Excel file you want to watermark and select the Insert => Text => Header & Footer tab.

Step 2: On the main interface, a new line with the Header content will appear. The Header line consists of 03 columns, and click on the center cell to insert in the middle. If you want to place the watermark off-center, simply choose the left/right cell.

II. Applying a Watermark
When you successfully switch to Header & Footer mode, you have triumphed in enabling the watermark mode. Now, a plethora of options awaits you, such as imprinting Watermark using text or Watermark using an image.
1. How to imprint Watermark using an image
Step 1: In the Header & Footer mode you just opened, locate the Picture tab to add an image to the file.

Step 2: To choose an image from your computer, select the From a file option and proceed to choose the Watermark image.

Step 3: Once you add the images to the Excel file, they won't immediately appear as visuals. Instead, they will be displayed under the name &[Pictures].

Step 4: To showcase the Watermark images, simply select another cell in the table. However, at this point, the Watermark is still misaligned and not in the correct position.

Step 5: The way to adjust the Watermark is by selecting a cell in the Header & Footer section and pressing Enter multiple times to shift the position of the Watermark down.

So, you have completed the process of creating a Watermark using images for your Excel file.

2. Applying Text-based Watermark
If you're an individual worker without image-based Watermarks, you can opt for text-based Watermarks. Creating a text-based Watermark is exceptionally unique and effective.
Step 1: Choose an empty cell in the Header & Footer section and input the content you want to use as the Watermark. You can customize the font, font size, and font color...

Step 2: Subsequently, press Enter multiple times to bring the position of the text-based Watermark down to the desired location (usually the center of the page).

Step 3: Voila! You have successfully added a text-based Watermark to your Excel file.
