The process of developing the handouts is pretty elaborated and requires to collaborate in development a series of workbooks, presentations and documents. In order to clearly determine the status of those documents we wanted to use watermarks. Can you shed light about how to use watermarks, either textual (plain or smart texts) or graphical (pictures from our computers and the web). Thanks for the question. In this post you will learn how to insert or embed watermarks in Office 2016 applications like PowerPoint and Excel (you could potentially use similar techniques in Word and Visio). Note that you can use the same procedure in order to either add or remove a watermark.
