I am trying to create a letterhead with a text box along the left side with
names of Board members, staff, etc.  I want then to be able to type letters
or whatever on the letterhead with the text box staying where it is and the
content appearing beside it.  But doing an Enter above this text box moves it
instead of moving to a line beside the text box as I want it to.  I can find
nothing in Help or the Knowledge Base on this.

This has got to be something commonly wanted.  There has got to be a way to
do it.  Can somebody tell me how?

Anchor the textbox to the header.

I redesigned the letterhead so that there would be a header, to see if such
an option would come up.  No such option shows still.  There are four things
you can anchor a text box to (some of which don't really work), but header is
not one of them.

You can anchor a textbox to any paragraph, including the paragraphs within a
header or footer.

See the "More complex letterhead" section of
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for such an example.
