KB32017: How to create a text watermark in a Report Services Document.

SYMPTOM:
A watermark is a faint design appearing in the background of every page of the document. Watermarks in documents can be either text or an image, and can be created in Strategy 9.4.1 and 10.x. Text watermarks typically identify or decorate pages as following.
 
 

 
ACTION:
Follow the steps below to create an text watermark:

1. Open a document in Design view in Strategy Developer.
2. Select Document Properties from the Format menu. Then the Document Properties dialog box opens as shown below: 

• Click Format button and the Watermark format dialog box displays. Then select Text watermark and type the text to display as the watermark. 
   
  

• By default, the text is printed diagonally across the page. To print it horizontally instead, select "Horizontal" in the Orientation area.
• To fade the watermark to ensure that the document information is legible through the watermark, select the "Washout" check box.
• By default, the watermark uses the font size defined in the Format Cells dialog box. To allow the font size to automatically adjust to fill the layout, select the "Size font automatically" check box. 
• Click OK to save it.
• Run the document to test the watermark text display. Go back to the properties window to adjust the settings.
