I'm running LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on Linux Mint 18 an noticed "FORMAT > PAGE > BACKGROUND" is missing too. However, I was able to add a watermark by doing this: 1. Use "Format > Page > Area" menu to access the "Fill" setting. 2. I chose a "Fill" setting of "Bitmap" and used the "Import Graphic" button to import my image. 3. Then, I went to the "Transparency" tab and set transparency setting of 85% (you'll probably want a higher setting) When I then typed some text over the background image, the image was in full color (no opacity). Maybe this is the new/current way to add a watermark in Writer. Hope this helps! Peace...
