How to create text watermark background?

How do I create a custom picture watermark file?

• I want to put a custom text watermark on a Windows 97-2003 document. I need help in CREATING TEXT IN A PICTURE FILE so I can insert it. I understand you can do it through PowerPoint, but have been unable to do so (online directions do not mesh with my program options, it seems). I understand how to insert a picture as a watermark, but I need to create that picture (which will not be an image, but custom text) first. I do not have PhotoShop.
