MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / July 2004Absolute positioning of text on a page
Can anyone think of a way to position text on the page so that it WILL NEVER move ... *without* using text boxes or frames? When I say, WILL NEVER move, I mean that if someone enters additional text above the locked-in-place text, the new text will flow around the locked text, and if, for instance, this is part of a mail-merge document, anything merged in will not cause the locked text to shift in any way. I think the only way to do this for sure is with text boxes, and I can't use text boxes. Thank you. Sorry, I don't think it can be done without a text box or frame, unless you're willing to put it at the top or bottom of the page using the Header or Footer.

Hi Grace, I'll concur with Chad. But I'm also curious about why you can't use text boxes. >Sorry, I don't think it can be done without a text box or frame, unless >you're willing to put it at the top or bottom of the page using the Header [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> >> Thank you. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word You can position text absolutely using an ADVANCE field, but other text won't flow around it. The flowing is a result of Word's graphic model, which constructs the page from objects such as textboxes. Out of interest, what's the problem with textboxes? > Can anyone think of a way to position text on the page so that it WILL NEVER > move ... *without* using text boxes or frames?

I couldn't use a text box in my situation because I needed to use a text form field as well.
