I want to creat a new backgound and to be able to type on it.

[Terry Farrell]

Which version of Word and for what purpose? Is it to be used as a fade
watermark or as a strong picture background behind text?

Dear Daffy

Switch to the Page Layout tab on the ribbon and click on Watermark button.
Select Custom Watermark and in the Watermark dialog you can choose Picture
Watermark and Washout.

However, Word is poor at creating good web pages. Take a look in Google for
free web creators: even Google has a free version that isn't too bad either.
But there are hundreds of free options available.

For a Web background, you should use a "background" rather than a
"watermark," but you can still format it as "washout."
