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:

This still doesn't answer my question. Thanks though. I
need to have a picture that I use(My Company Logo) and
have that set as the watermark. I need that behind my
text. Is there a way? Thank you.

Is there a way to set a watermark in Excel so that it
appears behind text? Thank you.

I have never been able to find a way to do this.

Apparently, you haven't yet found a way to meet your needs using Excel
alone.

If this persists, you might want to try using FinePrint:

One of its features is "stationery" that can put a watermark on print jobs
from any application. I've used FinePrint (but not for watermarks) and have
been satisfied.
