I use Office 2007 and this is what I would do:

INSERT > TEXT BOX > CHOOSE SIMPLE TEXT BOX > REPLACE WORDS THERE WITH YOUR WORDS

Make sure text box is highlighted, at top click on TEXT BOX TOOLS. Adjust borders, fill (including transparent - no fill), shadow etc. from options.

By default, it will be IN LINE WITH TEXT (ie moves up and down with cursor). If you want it left or right of main text, or in front of text:
TEXT BOX TOOLS > POSITION > MORE LAYOUT OPTIONS.
Except for IN LINE WITH TEXT, it will now allow you to move the box where you want on the page.
