Word is a constituent of Microsoft Office - an entirely different 
product. I hope we are instead talking about a Writer document in 
Apache OpenOffice.

Here's one way:

o Go to File | New > | Drawing (or click Drawing on the Start Centre) 
to create a new drawing document.
o Click the Text ("T") button in the Drawing toolbar and drag a text 
box in the document.
o Enter your watermark text.
o Adjust the text properties: font, size, and so on. (You can enter 
sizes larger than those offered by typing in the box.)
o Select a suitable font colour - probably something like Grey 3.
o If desired, adjust the rotation angle under Position and Size.
o Select the text box (so you see the eight green handles) and go to 
Modify | Convert > | To Bitmap (or right-click | Convert > | To Bitmap).
o With the material selected, go to right-click | Save as Picture... 
and save the result somewhere suitable - probably as a .png file.
o You can now discard the drawing document itself.

o In your text (Writer) document, go to Format | Page... | Background.
o For As, select Graphic.
o Click Browse... and browse to and open your saved picture.
o You probably don't want Link ticked - especially if you intend to 
distribute the text file elsewhere.
o For Type, select Position.

Note that backgrounds are a property of page styles, so the watermark 
will appear on all pages with the current style. Note also that you 
could place such watermarks in otherwise empty documents and save 
them as templates.

I trust this helps.
