I'm using a single celled, borderless table. I have it in a template
to format text around a protruding graphic on pre-printed letterhead.
Text starts out wrapping but inevitably the table loses its mooring
and starts moving with text.

Any other suggestions for how to make a template to wrap around a
protruding graphic?

I'm using Office Word 2004 for MAc on a G5 iMac with 10.3.9 operating
system.

Assuming the graphic is only on the first page of any document based on this
template, set the page layout to "Different first page" and then anchor* the
table (or, preferably, a text box) in the first-page header. Drag the table
or box to the correct location and then close the header area. No matter
what you place in the body of the document, the table/box won't move.

*To anchor a floating object in the header, open the header area and, while
the cursor is in the header, insert the object.
