how do I create a document that lets me type without the document.
I am trying to create a document that several people can use to enter the
same type of information but that varies each time they use it, for example different names, SS#s. But I need the document not to move when you type in the information. |

What you are describing is a protected form. For more on creating forms, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. Most forms designers use (borderless) tables to keep text in place. -- Suzanne S.
