Not totally satisfactory, (OOo1.1.4) when clicking on the page to type,
it still selects the graphic. The only way to get a cursor to type is
to click outside the graphic then use the cursor keys to where you want
to type. Formatting the page, as I described previously avoids this
problem.
If your graphic is too "loud" to be a proper watermark, The only thing I
can suggest is to soften it first in a graphics editor.

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.

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.
