Go to File/PageSetup.
Go to the header/Footer tab.
Click Custom Header, click in the Centre Section area, click the Picture tool (2nd from right) and
insert the text or image that you want as a watermark.
Click the Format Picture tool (1st on right), click the Picture tab, set Image Control to "Washout".

That should do it.
