How do I do exact horizontal placement of characters in Word?
In a previous life (WordPerfect), I was able to complete a form by doing
vertical and horizontal placement of characters. I would measure on my form where I needed to place the characters and then feed the form through the printer. How is this done in Word? Thanks. |

Text Boxes? You can position these absolutely in relation to the page.
Measuring where text needs to go seems very time consuming. I would imagine there is an easier way using a scanner. -- Rae Drysdale "SWB" wrote: In a previous life (WordPerfect), I was able to complete a form by doing vertical and horizontal placement of characters.

With Finereader 6 (Corporate) there was a brilliant form filling tool that
made such tasks a breeze. They no longer supply it with the OCR application, but it seems to be available as a separate application - http://www.abbyy.com/formreader/. I hesitate to ask how much it costs -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rae Drysdale wrote: Text Boxes?
