If you can share more detail as to your ultimate objective I'm sure someone
will have some intelligent insights. I'm also not clear on what you mean by
"fighting with columns" & "table commandeering body".

Thanks, but I can't use the header idea. There needs to be editing done
within the textbox by different people. It was intended to eliminate any
fighting with columns.
I guess my next test will involve a table and lockable fields.
Can character styles be properly used with tables? I have had so many
problems with table commandeering body - I cringe at the thought of basing
an entire document layout on one. Anyone have any thoughts on that angle?

Thanks,

PS - Meant to mention that the most likely means of getting close to what
you want is to insert the graphic in the Header/Footer layer of the doc.
You
might also want to look into using ToolsProtect Document.

In a word, No. Any 'foreign' objects in Word are anchored to the text in
some way. Locking the anchor simply prevents dragging the *anchor*, not
the
graphic it is anchoring. Have a good read he

Is it possible to TRULY lock down the position of a text box on a
doucment?
I mean, above and beyone the Format Text Box Layout tab Advanced
Lock
Anchor/ Absolute position options? I have the little padlock icon on
the
text box in the original template said documents are based on, but
users
are still able to "jiggle" or slightly move the position of the box and
it
messes up the documents. I need to completely prevent this.

Any possibilities? We are Novell 6/ Win XP/Office 2003 SP1.

Thanks.
