MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2004Anchoring Text Boxes
I have a template that I created and need to anchor a text box so that users cannot move the box at all. They still need to be able to type inside the box. I converted the text box to a frame and selected lock anchor, however, you can still move the box around and I need it to stay in the same location. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks - Lisa You can't *prevent* them moving the box, but you can fix its location in the document. Use an ordinary textbox. Lock the anchor to a paragraph that you expect to stay put (if the textbox is on the first page, lock the anchor to the first paragraph of the document). Format the textbox to be relative to page. > I have a template that I created and need to anchor a text box so that users cannot move the box at all.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.
