I'm designing a information sheet with header/footer and two columns. I'd
like to have a permanent text are at the right upper edge (ie running down the side-with text running top to bottom) - almost a side footer or header. Can I do this? Any suggestions? I used a text box when I did this in Word Perfect, but is there an easier way.... Thanks. |

A header/footer can be anywhere on the page. Place the text box in the
header view and it will appear on all pages. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Scott wrote: I'm designing a information sheet with header/footer and two columns.

What I wanted was a header at the top, footer at bottom, and a permanent text
box down the right side (text facing down) - ie page text in two columns would be next to this. "Graham Mayor" wrote: A header/footer can be anywhere on the page.

Attach the text box either to the header or the footer.

Place the cursor in the header area, and then insert a text box or
frame. This anchors the text box (frame) to the header and it will show on all pages using that header.

Thanks you. I didn't understand about anchoring - works great!
