Add a text watermark to a Word document

Use jetformat word watermark to add a text watermark to a Word document.

By Jetformat

Use a watermark to label a document as draft or confidential. It changes presentation and should not be treated as an access-control or redaction mechanism.

Steps

  1. Start with a local DOCX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat word watermark letter.docx --text CONFIDENTIAL -o letter-updated.docx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--image Image watermark path (PNG/JPEG/GIF/EMF)
--output Output DOCX path (required)
--text Text watermark

Check the result

Render a sample page and confirm the label is visible without obscuring important text.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat word watermark --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the word command reference for the surrounding workflow.
