Thank you! This worked great! Like others, I do not understand why we are not given the option of placing watermarks in a particular section, or within a range of pages.

Thank-you for the instruction with the screenshots.
Microsoft has made this much harder than it needs to be.
I have no idea why they did not give an option to insert watermark on all pages, or current page, or a page range.
