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. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "salty" wrote in message ps.com... 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.
