Setting Default Properties for Watermark Settings

The Watermark setting in Content Setup > Default Properties controls the display of shaded text in the background of each Microsoft® Word and HTML document page and indicates the document's current status except published. (Approved documents do not show a watermark.)

Note: Watermarks are always on when using the Office Online Module.
