What is the Page 1 Watermark on Excel Worksheet?

When you open an Excel file, or switch to a different worksheet, you might see a large Page 1 watermark in the middle of the sheet. This is a sign that you are in Page Break Preview, and this video shows how to turn that view setting off and on.

There are benefits to using Page Break Preview, such as adjusting the location of the page breaks, and seeing how the printed pages will look, before you actually print them.

For more tips, go to the Excel Printing page on my Contextures site.

How to include the page number in printing?

This doesn't teach you how to remove watermark. Don't waste your time.
