Can you insert a watermark into Excel? If so how?

From Help (press f1)

Add or remove a sheet background pattern
Click the sheet that you want to add a background pattern to or delete a background pattern from. Make sure only one sheet is selected.
Do one of the following:
Add a sheet background pattern

On the Format menu, point to Sheet, and then click Background.
Select the graphics file to use for the background pattern.
The selected graphic is repeated to fill the sheet. You can apply solid color shading to cells that contain data.

Remove a sheet background pattern

On the Format menu, point to Sheet, and then click Delete Background.

Note Background patterns do not print and are not retained in individual worksheets or items that you save as Web pages. However, if you publish an entire workbook as a Web page, the background is retained.
