Locking the text box anchor may be more helpful; this can be done in the
Advanced Layout dialog box.
For more on anchors, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/drwgrphcs/anchors.htm.
Also, note that it is usually easier to add text boxes (or any objects in
the drawing layer for that matter) when editing is (almost) complete.

Has anyone found a way to stop text boxes darting all over the page when
other boxes or text are added? I have tried 'fix aspect ratio' but they
still fly around at till!
Any help appreciated!
