Default Locking a field in an absolute position

If you choose Table Properties, set its wrapping the 'Around' which then
lets you set its vertical position exactly wrt the bottom of the page.

If I do use a table, how can I keep the total line in the same place if
the
number of lines and amounts vary?

I have a single line that I am using as a total line:

Please pay this amount --- $xxx.xx

This total is the sum of several lines which come from a different
source.
I
have two issues:

Vertically, the total line moves up or down depending on the number of
lines
that come from the other source. I would like to anchor this total
lines
at a
spot 2/3 down the page.

Horizontally, the "Please pay" text and the dollar amount move side to
side
depending on the number of digits in the total. In this case, I would
like
to
anchor the text and dollar amounts at the same spots on the page.

Is there a way to anchor horizontally and vertically on a page with
data
of
varying sizes?
