How do I get Ghost Letters to show up "behind" my document?

If you bring up the page break preview, you see "Page 1" in "ghost letters".
My question is, how do I choose what words come up behind the document, and
how do I get them to print in the soft grey color?

Click to expand...

In MS EXCEL help look for "watermark". Maybe that helps.

Use Word Art to generate the text of your watermark.

- On the drawing toolbar, click Insert WordArt.
- Select the type of design you want and select'OK'
- Enter your text in the textbox and select'OK'

- Right-click the text box to show the WordArt toolbar
- Left-Click on 'Format WordArt'
- On the 'Colors and Lines' tab...
- Select Fill>Color and select a light grey
- Select Fill>Color and check the 'Semitransparent' checkbox
- Select Line>Color and select 'No Line'
- On the 'Properties' tab...
- Check the 'Print Object' checkbox
- Select 'OK'

- To change the size of the textbox, grab an end of the textbox and drag it
- To rotate the textbox, Select the 'Free Rotate' button.
- Grab an end of the textbox and turn it
