If you do decide to tackle this using text boxes (I also use borderless Word tables) then it does take a lot of trial and error and it doesn't matter what program you use to do it. Getting the data to line up perfectly on the preprinted form takes time. I have a client who must use their preprinted forms and every time they recieve a new batch I need to go in and make adjustments so it prints correctly -- it's a couple hours of work each time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVPhttps://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Thank You Beth. I'll try then to use word and guess the exact position. The form are security related forms. I can't do otherwise. I can do as much trials as i want since I have plenty of forms. I'll let you know. Good luck!! Another note to make is if you find yourself making the same changes over and over again then check your pre-printed forms. It's likely they aren't printed the same. What I found works best is to hold two forms placed together up to the light and verify the alignment. Do the same each time you print to make sure you are actually working with identical forms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs |
