what I need to do is, having water mark all over the page, a word or phrase
repeating with small font. Something like this.

and I have never used macro codes, dont know how, please explain.
 
Create a large text box. Type the text across the first line, and copy all
the way down the page. Select the text and choose a semitransparent font
color. With the text still selected, click on Page Layout and then
Watermark; choose "Save Selection to Watermark Gallery." This brings up a
dialog box which puts your new watermark in the watermark gallery! The next
time you bring up a document, select Page Layout, and then Watermark, your
new one will show up as a watermark you can choose from.
 
this works, thank you,
but when i select this watermark (which I have created with a text box)
it does not show up in the center. instead its filling the top margin, in
other word its from the top of the page.
 
You need to set its position relative to the page rather than the margins so
that it will be independent of your margin settings.
 
A watermark is only a graphic inserted behind text and usually in the header
view, so simply fill the page with a text box. Fill the text box with
whatever text you want, formatted as you want, and set the font colour to
(say) 25% grey and the text box layout property to 'behind text'. Select the
lot and save it as an autotext entry. Insert the autotext entry in the page
header.
