Hello
When I copy a text box or image from 1 page to another, the position of the
box moves down and to the left a little relative to the original. This is
very frustrating! How can I copy to the exact same position from 1 page to
another?

Thanks for any help.

Shane.

It actually moves to the RIGHT by .42cm and down by .42cm relative to the
last each time I paste. I am using WD2000. Why does it do this?

That's just the way Word works. If you copy and paste on the same page, you
don't want to paste exactly over the original, as it would then be difficult
to know the Paste operation had even succeeded, much less select the copy.
Unfortunately, Word doesn't provide any control over the offset of
duplicates or pasted copies (this feature is available in other applications
that are more graphics-oriented).
