For example I have a Word document with 7 pages, and want to apply watermark to the second page only. Here, I will describe the detailed steps to add watermark to the specified one page only.
1. Go to the beginning of the specified page (the 2nd page in my case) you will add watermark, and click Layout (or Page Layout in Word 2007/2010/2013) > Breaks > Next Page. See screenshot:
2. Go to the end of the specified page (the 2nd page in my case), and click Layout (or Page Layout in Word 2007/2010/2013) > Breaks > Next Page.
3. Double click the header of the 2nd page to show the header area. And now you will see the text of Same as Previous below header line. See screenshot:
4. Now the Header & Footer Tools are enabled. Please click Design (under Header & Footer Tools) > Link to Previous. See screenshot:
Now the text of Same as Previous is removed from the header of the 2nd page.
5. Put cursor at the header of the 3rd page, and click Design (under Header & Footer Tools) > Link to Previous to remove the text of Same as Previous in the 3rd page.
6. Place cursor at header of the 2nd page, click Design (or Page Layout in Word 2007/2010) > Watermark, and then select a watermark from the Watermark drop down list.
Now the watermark is added on the 2nd page only of current Word document. See screenshot:
