Resizing and Repositioning Select, hold, and drag the adjustment handles to change the size of your watermark. (The top, center handle tilts the watermark to the left and right.) To reposition your watermark, hover your cursor over the watermark until the cursor becomes two crossed arrows (see figure 12).

It is possible that your text is in a shape or a table that has a white background that blocks the watermark. Watermarks are images that are in the header. The header acts like a base layer for your text. If there is something in the text layer that blocks it, you will not see it.

Adjust the placement of a watermark on the page Double-click near the top of the page to open the header. Click the watermark to select it. (Try moving the cursor over the watermark until the cursor displays a four-headed arrow.) Drag the watermark where you want it on the page.

Right click the watermark image/text, and select Copy from the context menu. See screenshot: 3. Open the target document you will paste the watermark, and double click the header or footer area to activate the header and footer sections.

If it's a text watermark, you'll have the WordArt Tools tab available, and if it's a picture, you'll see the Picture Tools tab when the watermark is selected. If it's a text watermark, you can drag it to change its position on the page, but no other editing. If it's a picture, right-click and choose Format Picture.
