water mark

[uttam]

I want to have water mark printed in back ground using some macro
embeded in word ?

Assuming Word 97, and assuming a picture watermark rather than a text
watermark:

Insert-> Picture-> From File, Choose the picture you want as a watermark.
Check the Float Over Text box and click Insert. If needed, move and/or
resize the picture to get it where you want it.

Right-click the picture and choose Format Picture from the pop-up menu.
On the Colors & Lines tab, set Color to No Fill and Line to No Line.
On the Wrapping tab, choose None. On the Picture tab, in the Color
drop-down list, choose Watermark. (Or, if this is a color picture
and you want the watermark to be monochromatic, click Grayscale.)
Click OK to return to the document.

Right-click the picture and from the pop-up menu, click Order, then click
Send Behind Text

If you want the watermark on every page, follow the same steps but in the
document's header or footer.

If you want a text watermark rather than a graphic, the steps are similar
except:

- Start by inserting a text box instead of a picture and type the text
inside the box.

- You must right-click the *border* of the text box to adjust its Line,
Color, and Wrap properties, and again when you send it behind the text.

- To make the text gray, select it, click Format-> Font-> Color, and
choose 25% gray. (This makes for a much less subtle watermark than
you get with a picture. There may be a better way I don't know of.)

... and to create a macro, use the Macro Recorder while you do this the
first time around.
