How do I make a repeating watermark?

I want to set up a letter with "CONFIDENTIAL" as the watermark, but I want it
to repeat across the entire page, not the single instance that MS Word
inserts.
 
The following puts "Confidential" in big letters diagonally across the page.

1. From the menu bar, select Format > Backgrounds > Printed Watermark.
2. In the dialog box, select the Text Watermark option.
3. From the drop-down list in the Text field, select Confidential.
4. Click OK

Did you mean that you want "Confidential" to appear numerous times all over
the page?
 
You can go to View>Header and Footer, create as many copies of a text box
containing the word "Confidential" as you want, formatted as you wish and
positioned wherever you like (as long as they are not set for In Line with
Text - preferably use Behind Text text wrapping). They can't, however, be
rotated to read diagonally the way the standard watermark is.

If you want something more elaborate, create a file in a graphics program,
save it as a jpeg or png, then use the Printed Watermark feature to specify
that file as a picture rather than the Text watermark option.
