water level should be to the water level indicated on the recovery tank when the engine reaches operating tempature.
Look real close to the side of the reservoir - you'll find very hard-to-see level markings: "Full Cold" and "Full Hot" (or similar terms).
Those are your level targets when topping off the coolant.
There are illustrations and instructions for your specific model year in the Owners Manual - along with anti-freeze specification. (See "Related Questions" below for free online copies of 1996 and new Ford product Owners Manuals!)
This is also a good time to think about how long has it been since the anti-freeze was changed.
If it is brown or otherwise discolored, you should seriously consider having the engine flushed and filled with new coolant.

Looking into the engine, on the far right there is a visible coolant reservoir near the hinge of the hood. On the side of the reservoir closest to the center of the engine, there should be large markings for minimum and maximum fill. Given the bright orange color of the recommended coolant, it should be easy to see the level.
