When using Insert Watermark in WPS on Windows, common questions usually focus on display results, page coverage, and removal behavior; this FAQ includes 4 common questions and a glossary of key terms.
FAQ
Why does the watermark appear on all pages?
- After you insert a preset watermark or create a custom watermark, the watermark is applied across the document pages.
- This is normal when the goal is to mark the whole document consistently.
- If you want to remove it, go to Insert → Watermark → Remove Watermark.
What can I do if the watermark is too dark to read through?
- Open Insert → Watermark → Custom Watermark.
- If you are using an image watermark, try enabling Washout.
- If you are using a text watermark, adjust the color, transparency, or layout to make the page easier to read.
Can I insert an image watermark?
- Yes. In Custom Watermark, select Picture Watermark.
- After choosing the image, you can continue adjusting scaling, layout, and display settings.
- After confirmation, the image watermark appears in the document page background.
Does removing a watermark affect the main document content?
- Removing a watermark only removes the watermark content from the page background.
- The main text, layout, and other edited content stay unchanged.
- Save the document after removal to keep the change.
