    Hello Laneburritt,

    I'm Segunfunmi, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user like you. Thank you for posting your query in this forum.

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble inserting a picture watermark into your Word document. This issue might be due to a bug in the software. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

    Alternative Method: You can insert an image directly into the header of your document. Here’s how:

    Double-click on the header of your document. Navigate to Insert -> Picture and select your image. After inserting the image, select it. On the top ribbon, adjust the transparency and resize the image as needed. Office Repair: If the issue continues, consider performing an online repair of your Office installation.

    Work Offline: Another workaround is to click the “Work Offline” button in the second window. This action opens File Explorer, where you can select the image file.

    Remember, it’s important to keep your software updated to benefit from the latest fixes and improvements.

    I hope this helps! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance.

    Kind regards, Segunfunmi.
