How to Add Watermark to a MS Word Document inside Android Applications

This technical tip explains how to add a watermark to a document in Microsoft Word document inside Android Applications. Sometimes you need to insert a watermark into a Word document, for instance if you would like to print a draft document or mark it as confidential. In Microsoft Word, you can quickly insert a watermark using the Insert Watermark command. Not many people using this command realize that such “watermark” is just a shape with text inserted into a header or footer and positioned in the centre of the page. While Aspose.Words doesn't have a single insert watermark command like Microsoft Word, it is very easy to insert any shape or image into a header or footer and thus create a watermark of any imaginable type.
