I posted the original message. I'm comfortable working in point sizes or
fractions of inches. Nevertheless, the text box idea worked for me after
fiddling with its placement a bit. I'm going to try the ADVANCE field idea,
though, just to see how it would work--and if I can place the text in the
exact same spot.

works.
