How to Do Multiple Watermarks on Microsoft Word 2007
Watermarks are used to protect document text for confidentiality purposes. When watermarks are added to any type of document, this prohibits copying and distribution of any kind. Before the evolution of desktop-publishing software, creating watermarks could be rather complicated because of a lack of resources. But computer users can take matters into their own hands to protect their documents with desktop-publishing software like Microsoft Word 2007. Even multiple watermarks can be added to one document in Word 2007, as long as it is text. Create multiple watermarks in Word 2007 with a little text manipulation using the Page Layout tools.

Tips & Warnings
To select a customized watermark of your own, scroll down below the thumbnail images and select "Custom Watermark."
Multiple watermark images cannot be added. Each time you select a new watermark image, it will replace the current one. This is just a default action in Word 2007 that you cannot change or adjust. Multiple text watermarks will be the only way you'll be able to create multiple watermarks for one document.
