Unfortunately, the printed watermark feature is not available on any version of Excel (including Excel 2007, 2010). However, there are some workaround methods to add text or images into an Excel document that would result something similar to a watermark.

The followings are examples of Excel Documents with text and image "watermark":



 








 

Step-by-step to add a watermark to an Excel document (applied for Microsoft Word 97-2010):

A. TEXT WATERMARK:
The trick is to place a WordArt on the background of the Excel sheet.

Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (2002)/2003:

1. Open the Excel document that you want to add watermark to.


2. Select "Insert" from the top menu, then select "Picture" > "WordArt...".


3. In the "WordArt Gallery" dialog, select a WordArt style that you like then click "OK".


4. In the "Edit WordArt Text" dialog, type in your desired text, select the font style and size, then click "OK".


5. Right-click on the newly inserted WordArt on the Excel document, then select "Format WordArt...".


6. In the "Format WordArt..." dialog, select "No fill" for "Fill"/"Color".
   Also select a brighter color (i.e. gray) for "Line"/"Color" then click "OK".


7. Right-click on the WordArt on the Excel document, then select "Order." > "Send to Back".


8. Click and drag the WordArt to position it where you like.
   Note: The WordArt needs to be manually placed on each page of the document.

Microsoft Excel 2007/2010:

1. Open the Excel document that you want to add watermark to.


2. Select the "Insert" tab from the top menu, then in the group "Text", select "WordArt".


3. Select the WordArt style you want, then type the text for your watermark.


4. Under "Drawing Tools", select "Format".


5. In the group "WordArt Styles" change "Text Fill" to "No fill".


6. Also in the same group "WordArt Styles", change "Text Outline" to "Automatic".


7. In the group "Arrange" select "Send to Back".


8. Click and drag the WordArt to your preferred position.
   Note: The WordArt needs to be manually placed on each page of the document.

B. IMAGE WATERMARK:
To insert an image watermark, use the header feature in Excel as follows...

Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (2002)/2003:

1. Open the Excel document that you want to add watermark to.


2. Select "View" from the top menu, then select "Header and Footer".


3. In the "Page Setup" dialog, click on the "Custom Header..." button in the middle of the dialog.


4. In the "Header" dialog, click on the middle box "Center section"


5. In the middle of this dialog box, there are some tool buttons. We're going to use the last two buttons to insert and format the image.


6. Click on the Insert Picture button (the second-to-last button with an image of a mountain)


7. Navigate to the folder where your watermark image is located. Select the image and click "Insert".


8. A text "&[Picture]" is now placed in the middle box named "Center section".


9. Click on the Format Picture button (the last, right-most button).


10. Adjust the scale and size if you wish, then select the "Picture" tab. Change the "Color" under "Image Control" to "Washout", then click "OK".


11. At this point, you can click "OK" to finish, and do a "Print Preview" to see your watermark. However, you will notice that the image is placed far on the top of the page, which doesn't look usual for watermarks. To fix this, click on the middle box named "Center section" again and enter a few blank lines before the text "&[Picture]".


12. Once you're all done, click "OK" to exit and open "Print Preview" to see your watermark. (The watermark will not be displayed in normal view.)

Microsoft Excel 2007/2010:

1. Open the Excel document that you want to add watermark to.


2. Select the "Insert" tab from the top menu, then in the group "Text", select "Header & Footer".


3. Excel will now switch to Page Layout view, and the cursor will be moved to the center top of the page.


4. On the "Design" Tab, in the group "Header & Footer elements" Select "Picture".


5. Navigate to the folder where your watermark image is located. Select the image and click "Insert".


6. A text "&[Picture]" is now placed in the middle box of the header.


7. To move the picture down on the page, click on the header and place the cursor before the text "&[Picture]", then hit Enter a few times.


8. To see the watermark, either open the "Print Preview" or click on any cell of the document.

This article of  mine is not for all you tech freaks. Because you all are already aware of this trick. This article is an ice breaking simple and old trick for those people who are not much aware of computer tricks, but aware about my blog.  :-) (Kidding).

Press Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow on your key board. Something happened? Your desktop screen must flip horizontally and all your mouse should move in completely unintentional direction. But it is also possibility that nothing might happen. {Because this also depends on configuration of your PC } . If its works on your computer, your desktop screen should look like screenshot below



Although, if nothing happens, you can try this. Go to your desktop screen, right click then go to Graphic Options ->Hot Keys ->Enable . If you see "Enable" option already checked there and nothing is happening on pressing Ctrl+Alt+[Any arrow key on keyboard out of four arrow keys]. Then your pc probably does not support this feature of flipping your desktop vertically [Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow or Up Arrow] or Horizontally [Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow or Up Arrow] . Desktop can be restored to previous state by pressing the opposite arrow key with Ctrl+Alt sign.

It is quite possible that your friend might already know this trick of flipping desktop but its very rare that he knows enabling or disabling this feature by right clicking on desktop and then going to Graphic Options ->Hot Keys ->Enable/Disable to enable or disable this desktop flipping technique.

So what you can do to drive your friend crazy is,  press Ctrl+Alt+Left arrow while he is away and then go to Graphic Options ->Hot Keys ->Disable and disable this feature. So when he will be back he will not be able to restore his desktop without your help if he does not know about enabling or disabling this feature. :-)

Keep me posted on comment section if something interesting happens on your end.  :-p

Sometime you may like a WordPress site or a feature of plugin being displayed on the site but you may not be sure about which theme that site is using. If you try to ask the owner of site by contacting through contact from, you probably will never get an answer because no one is going to tell you about their secret that you liked.

Well, we have a solution for this. You can check or determine which wordPress theme a site is using. To know this, go to http://whatwpthemeisthat.com , enter the url of wordpress site that you want to check for theme, and you will get the result.

This site also displays a list of most searched themes so you know which theme is most popular. It will also display a list of plugins being used on the wordPress site in some cases. But it cant check the name of a customized WordPress theme.

Yes, this can be done using twitter's random location Geotag feature.

On Twitter, if you do not wish to reveal your geographic location in your tweets, you can either completely disable the location feature from Twitter settings or you can can attach some random (read, fake) location to your tweet.

For instance, here’s a recent tweet that specific my location as the White House in Washington DC though it was written from a place that is at least 8000 miles away.

Attach any Location to your Tweets

Now most Twitter mobile clients won’t let you attach random locations to your tweets but there’s a web-based app called PleaseDontStalkMe.com that may come handy here. Here you can pick any location on a Google Map – either drag the marker or use the search box to reach an exact address – and tweet.

Since the Twitter website no longer displays the app name that was used to send that tweet, your followers on Twitter are less likely to know that you faked your location in the tweet. Do remember to limit the length of your tweet to 140 characters else the tweet would fail but without offering an explanation.

You can geotag your tweets from the Twitter.com website as well (click the Location icon near the tweet button) but in that case, you can only attach a city-level location to the tweet and not an exact location.
