Image Watermark Disappears

I'm trying to insert an image as a watermark in order to create a form in Word 2013. The image is a scan of our letterhead. When I select custom watermark, use image, the image appears for a moment, complete with the image size handles, then disappears. I've tried size settings of Automatic, 100% and 150% but with the same effect. What now?

Answer
A watermark is just an image anchored to the page header with image color set to Washout (a specific combination of brightness and contrast). If you want the letterhead to appear on the page, you probably don't want it washed out, anyway, so it will be easier just to access the header and paste in the image. Format it as Behind Text. If it fills the page, set the position as Top and Left relative to Page.
