Default Locking a text box?

As I wrote, the best you can do is anchor the text box to a header
paragraph. The first page header would be the most convenient one. See also
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm.

If you are creating a letterhead (or something similar to a letterhead), see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm.

I have found out how to fix the text box relative to the remaining text. I
however still want my text box to become a permanent part of the document.
What to do?

Make sure to position the text box relative to the page edges, not
relative
to text paragraphs. For more specific instructions, tell us your version
of
Word.

Note that regardless of the chosen Text Wrapping option, if the paragraph
containing the text box anchor moves to the following page, so will the
text
box. Therefore, you should anchor the box to a paragraph that is unlikely
to
move, such as a paragraph in the middle of the page.

If the text box should be on the *first* page of the document, only, you
can
anchor it to the first page header.

Hello ...

I have a text box on the right side of my document. My problem is that
it
moves depending on the remaining text. Can I in any way lock the box so
that
it will always be in the same place no matter how the remaining text
forms
themselves.

Thanks in advance, Rasmus
