Insert watermark in OpenOffice document - how it works

In OpenOffice you can insert a watermark in a document without additional plugins. You cannot really protect your document in this way, but you show at least formally that the document is copyrighted.

OpenOffice: add watermark to document

1. Open OpenOffice-Writer and click on "Insert"> "Image"> "From file" in the settings bar.
2. Now select an image that you want to use as a watermark and press "Open".
3. The image and an associated menu bar now appear in the middle of your text document. In the bar you will find a dropdown menu that is currently set to "Standard". Click on it and select "Watermark" - the image will now appear more transparent.
4. If necessary, you must now scale the image over the green dots and move it to the right place on the page.
5. So that you can also place text in front of the watermark, right-click on the image and select "Circulation"> "In the background".
