To turn off the “Internal Use Only” watermark in Microsoft Word, you can follow these steps:
1. Open your Word document that contains the watermark.
2. Click on the “Design” tab at the top of the Word window. This tab is located next to the “Home” tab.
3. In the “Design” tab, you will see a section called “Page Background”. Within this section, click on the “Watermark” button. It should be located towards the right side.
4. A drop-down menu will appear with various pre-designed watermarks. Scroll through the list to find the “Internal Use Only” watermark.
5. Once you have located the watermark, simply click on it to select it. You will notice that the watermark is now highlighted in the document.
6. Press the “Delete” key on your keyboard to remove the watermark. The selected watermark will be deleted from your document.
7. Repeat the above steps if there are multiple instances of the “Internal Use Only” watermark in your document.
It is important to note that removing the watermark will permanently delete it from your document. Therefore, it is advisable to create a backup of your document before making any changes, especially if you may need to restore the watermark later.
If you don’t see the “Internal Use Only” watermark in the pre-designed list or if the watermark is not located in the “Design” tab, it is possible that the watermark has been added manually or through a customized template. In such cases, you may need to manually delete the watermark by following these steps:
1. Double-click near the top of the page to open the header area. This will allow you to access and edit the header section of your document.
2. Once you are in the header area, put your cursor over the watermark until you see a 4-way arrow. This indicates that you have selected the watermark.
3. Click on the watermark to select it. You will notice that the watermark is now highlighted or has a dotted border around it.
4. Press the “Delete” key on your keyboard to remove the selected watermark. The watermark will be deleted from the header section of your document.
5. Repeat the above steps if there are multiple instances of the “Internal Use Only” watermark in the header section.
6. After deleting the watermarks from the header section, you can close the header area by double-clicking outside the header or by clicking on the “Close Header and Footer” button in the “Design” tab.
By following these steps, you should be able to remove the “Internal Use Only” watermark from your Word document. Remember to save your document after making any changes to ensure that your modifications are preserved.
