James --
Below is a post that answered yours, but I don't think it was correct,
at least not in v2.0. I have replied to this one so I could address
Jonathon also.

dear sir:

when i was in computer school, i learned how to make
faded water marks using word.. however i cant figure
out how to do the same thing with Open Office..
if this is possable with Open Office. can you tell me
how to do it please?

To make a quick watermark, simply add the image required to
your document. Select the image and the object toolbar will
change to give image options. There is a drop-down list at
the beginning of the object bar which has the option to change
the image to a watermark. This will change transparency, adjust
alignments to centre on page, and put to background in one motion.

It appears that doing what you suggested only makes the image
translucent. In order to make it a Watermark, you need to actually take
the last step of putting it in the background. To do this:
Position the image where you want it and the right click, go down to
wrap, and choose in background. This should work.
HTH,
