Default How do I anchor text in a word document

Not completely accurate... the fact is that an object *cannot* be anchored
to a page in Word because Word has no physical page structure.

The steps described are as close as you can get, but the absolute
positioning on the page pertains to the "page" containing the *paragraph* to
which the object is anchored. As long as that text is on the same page the
object will stay put, but if that para flows to a different page the object
will go with it and assume a possition on *that* page based on the Picture
Position settings.

To the OP: If possible you really should do this sort of fixed layout
work in a program that supports it, such as Publisher. Even in Word there
are other approaches that probably will work better if you supply more
detail on what your overall objective is.

Create a text box
Right click on Text box border | Format Text box...
Layout | Advanced
Picture Position Tab
Horizontal | Absolute Position | to the right of | Select Page
Vertical | Absolute Position | below | Select Page

This will lock your text box in the position on the page no matter how
the text is edited on the rest of the page.
