In Word, how can I make small movements in a character's position
Is there anything in Word like the Advance function in Word Perfect, where
you can move the insertion point in a string of characters up, down, left or right by small amounts, like 0.01 inch? I use this, for example, to "fill out" a printed form that I have scanned. I make the graphic full size and then want to insert text on top of it (e.g., name, address, etc.) in the right place. The placement of space for text does not correspond to the line height of my font. I also need to put check marks in boxes, etc. I am using Office 2003. |

If you put your text into a text box, click on the edge of the text box and
holding down the Ctrl key use the arrow keys to move small increments. Hope this helps. -- Rae Drysdale "Arnie" wrote: Is there anything in Word like the Advance function in Word Perfect, where you can move the insertion point in a string of characters up, down, left or right by small amounts, like 0.01 inch?

Two methods --
1. Select the text, the go to Format Font. On the Character Spacing tab, use the Position value to raise or lower the selection. 2. Use an Advance field (read help on the details).
