How do I design my own custom watermark and print over it?

[Guest]

I am trying to make a background on the paper. I want my logo diagonally
(small) repeatedly on the paper -- kind of like on safety paper. I can get
the watermark in a single picture, but I want something repeatedly on the
paper, so it covers most of the paper. Please help

Word cannot do tiling, so the best you will be able to manage is to start
with a small borderless text box with its layout property set to behind text
and put your graphic in it. Then copy the text box and paste it alongside.
Repeat until you have a row of images in boxes. Select all the boxes and
copy to the clipboard then move that row of boxes to the next lower rown and
paste the clipboard back to replace them. Repeat until you have the page
covered as you want it. Select all the boxes then from the drawing toolbar
group them and ensure the layout for the object is still set to 'behind
text'. Save the lot as an autotext entry and delete it. You can now insert
the autotext entry into the header view of your document.

On the other hand it might be simpler to use a graphics application. This
would be child's play with Photoshop.
