PHPExcel - Make a watermark for Excel .xls generated files

phpexcel, watermark

Solution

You can set page headers to include a background image when the spreadsheet is printed using the `&G` code, as described in section 4.6.13 of the developer documentation; and 04printing.php in the /Examples folder shows an image in the header

Problem

I have an application that works fine with PHPExcel to generate orders in Excel files. the client wants to have the order status as a watermark in Excel file. Is there a way to do this with PHPExcel? I have searched their doc and I found no results. Also no example shown in any Google search I have made. Thank you for your input. PS: I saw that it is possible on PHPWord See en example of what I need: http://0.tqn.com/d/spreadsheets/1/5/D/H/-/-/2011-12-3-excel-watermark.gif
