I want to put a watermark (text or a picture, I'll scan it in) on an Excel
template.

Hi

You can use Word Art, remove the lines, color with 25% gray, click
semi-transparent (or in latest version set the transparency to your desire).
Rotate to desired angle. On the screen, when you type over the mark, it
looks a bit fuzzy but prints out wonderfully

If you have many to do try this:

Here is some code from L. Howard Kittle.

In this Zip file you can find 4 example workbooks with code to insert watermarks in to your pages.

1 : Watermark Horizontal LANDSCAPE
2 : Watermark Horizontal PORTRAIT
3 : Watermark Vertical LANDSCAPE
4 : Watermark Vertical PORTRAIT

You can download it here.

An alternative, if you're using Excel 2002, look for "Watermarks using Excel
XP" at this site:
