Yes but it's something of a hack. First, create a graphic in the package of your choice ( Inkscape [LINK] is a favourite of mine) for your watermark. This would be the word 'draft' for example. Make the page size of the graphic the same size and shape as the pages you're writing on in Libre Office and save it as a png [LINK] . You can make it any shade or colour you like. You can apply a background to any page by selecting Format>Page>Background and selecting graphic instead of colour. Set the background to take up the whole page area then browse to your png file.

It is rather remarkable. However I would not export with watermark sign !!! Create a text in Draw, you decide whatever it says, be it Draft, Samply, Copyright etc and your layout and textcolour etc. Save it as .odg than use an online converter to make it a .png file. This file you can use !! You just create a new Style in Libreoffice Writer and use the png file for the style. Double click on the "new" style and you have your watermark. (This watermark remains even when the file is exported to PDF.) For instructions I found the following video which helped me very much: [this video] Hope this helps

This short video should be helpful [this video] You need to have an image as a watermark (white image with "Draft" written in light gray on it, for example) You can download some images with Draft, Urgent, and so written in it, here > [LINK] EDIT: I just upgraded to the Version: 5.4.x.x of LibreOffice, So now, You just need to go to > Format > Watermark, then a window open where you input the text you want for your watermark and choose the color of the watermark (which is a lot faster and easier)
