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...
