Part Four

Adding a text watermark.

Please refer to Part One of this series to see the Word document output and calling code.

The TextWatermark class is standard code to add a watermark in a diagonal line.

Also note that it is also possible to add an image watermark.

This is the calling code which takes the following parameters:

  • Document to insert watermark into
    • Watermark text
    • Watermark font
    • Watermark fill colour
//// Add a text watermark
TextWatermark textWatermark = new TextWatermark();
textWatermark.AddWatermark(wordDoc, "DRAFT", "font-family:\"Calibri\";font-size:medium", "#C0C0C0");

Below is the class to add a text watermark.

The watermark transparency effect is governed by the falling code:

//// Switches on the transparency
Fill fill1 = new Fill() 
 Opacity = ".5" 
;
