How do i get draft in the background of my document

I need to prepare a draft of a contract and would like it to print with the word DRAFT in the background

You can:

  • Create a FontWork object and anchor it to the header or footer’s page, right click on the object → ArrangeTo Background

  • Create a drawing in Draw and either:

  • Copy/paste the drawing to the Writer document and proceed as before

  • Export as a picture and then edit the page style in use in the Writer document → Area tab → under Fill select Bitmap and with Import Image button import the picture

Since LO-5.4 it is possible to do this directly from the program:-
