Just remember, a watermark in Word is essentially a background. You can use it to add an effect to the document, mark it as a sample or draft, or even authenticate it. Word 2016 just allows you to place a light, printable image behind all the text and objects in a document. They can sometimes be seen stamped into expensive bond paper, and they are visible when you hold twenty-dollar-bills up to the light.Ī real watermark is stamped into a page with expensive equipment. You're probably familiar with watermarks. You can have the letter drop as many lines as you'd like, and even choose how much space to put between it and the text that follows. To exercise a little more control over it, click Drop Cap Options. You can choose to place the drop cap within the paragraph or in the margins. When you click the Drop Cap button, you will see these options: The cursor should be positioned in the paragraph for which you'd like to add the drop cap, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in front of the letter for which you want to add the effect, because it will drop cap the first letter of the paragraph. Just go to the Insert tab and click the Drop Cap button in the Text section of the Ribbon.

To move text boxes forward, click the Bring Forward button to the left of the Send Backward button. If we choose Send to Back, it sends the new text box behind all other text boxes and elements on the page.
If we choose Send Behind Text, it sends the text box behind all text. If we choose Send Backward from the dropdown menu, it sends the new text box behind the last text box that we drew. We can choose to send it backward, send it to the back, or send it behind the text. Now, we're going to go to the Arrange group under the Drawing Tools Format tab. Click the Send Backward button.
However, we want to add a fill color to this new text box, as we've already done below. We've also formatted it. If you are ever stacking text boxes in a design, you can always remove the fill color so the text box is transparent by going to the Drawing Tools Format tab. Click on the Shape Fill button, then select No Fill from the dropdown menu.
