How to Remove Watermark in Word?

• Use the Remove Watermark feature in Word.
• Remove watermark from the Document’s Header or Footer.

Way 1: Use the Remove Watermark Feature in Word

To remove a watermark in Word, what you first need to try is to use the Remove Watermark feature in Microsoft Word.

Step 1: Open the Microsoft Word app.

Step 2: Switch to the Page layout or Design tab.

Step 3: Under the Page Layout or Design tab, click the Watermark feature.

Step 4: In the Watermark menu, choose the Remove Watermark option.

If this way can’t remove a watermark in Word, try the following ways.

Alternatively, you can try removing a watermark from the document’s header or footer. How to do that? Follow the steps below.

Compared to the above two ways, this way is a bit complicated.

Before showing you how to carry out the way, please let me talk about what the XML format is.

According to Wikipedia, XML is the abbreviation of Extensible Markup Language. It is a markup language that defines the rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

Step 1: Open your document with Microsoft Word and then save it in the XML format.

Step 2: Open the saved document with Notepad.

Step 3: When the saved document opens, press the Ctrl + F keys to find the watermark phrase.

Step 4: On the Find window, type the watermark wording and then click the Find Next button.

Step 5: Only delete the watermark wording.

Step 6: Find and delete again until all watermark wordings are removed.

Step 7: Save the changes and then reopen the document with Microsoft Word.

Now, your document should not contain any watermark.
