MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2004Precisely positioning text
Is there an alternative way of positioning a text in header at an exact distance from the page borders without using tables or frames? Thank you for your help, Rob Paragraph style indents and spacing and/or frame?

I have to insert dates and other info in precise locations on pre printed paper. The difficulty is not so much positioning the text from the left but finding the exact distance from the top of the page. Does one just make attempts with space before and header margin and print till the exact placement is discovered? Rob >-----Original Message----- >Paragraph style indents and spacing and/or frame?

Although this measurement is displayed in the Format Paragraph dialog in points, you can type it in in any other unit of measurement provided you specify it (using ", in, cm, etc.). For example, suppose your header margin is the default 0.5", but you want the First Page Header to start at 1.5". Type 1" into the Space Before box. Word will convert it to 72 points. -- Suzanne S.
