Microsoft Word 2010 can convert a photo file into a watermark for your document. A watermark can complement a page's content. For example, a photo of a city can be set behind a letter referring to tourism. The "Page Layout" tab on the command ribbon contains the "Watermark" command. The "Custom Watermark" options can insert and scale the image to suit the document's format.
