Q&A for How to Add a Watermark to a Page in Microsoft Word

Because that's just how Word's watermarks default on the page.

If you go to the "Design" tab, you will find a "Watermark" option all the way to the right. Choose from featured watermarks, get some from Office.com, add your own custom watermark, or remove a watermark.

Click "Picture". Click the button that says "Add watermark". Move your watermark with your clicker.

First add the watermark to your document via the standard means. Double-click the Header tab to activate. Left-click the watermark on the page where you want it maintained and press Ctrl-C. Next, click on the watermark on any of the other pages and press delete. Close the header section, and the watermark will now show on only the page of interest.
