You can use an { Advance } field in Word to position text with precision at

I used to be able to place text very precisely in WordPerfect--I believe
the
version was 6.1. Nevertheless, I was hoping to discover a similar feature
in
MS Word 2002. Thank you, and Charles. The text box suggestions works.
