Hi Purple Hummer, you could open MS-Paint and create a picture with the word
DRAFT and save. Then in Excel open your sheet and go to
Format/Sheet/Background and load your newly created DRAFT picture. It just
worked for me ok.
Regards, Nick.
Choose the style you like. From the WordArt tool bar, select the icon
"Format WordArt". Under the Color and Lines Tab in the Fill section,
you'll see Color and Tranparency. I typically use a gray color and set
tranparency to about 50%.
