Default How can I keep the bottom portion of a document from shifting?

Where my problem begins is with the client address. Some contain 3 lines and
some 4 lines. The letters that have 3 lines are perfectly lined up, but when
that 4th line pops in there it shifts the entire document down, which messes
up the section that goes on the perforated part. Is there any way to keep
that section from moving? (I have tried a section break and it still moves;
as it also does when I make that portion a footer.) Thank you for all your
assistance.

You could put it in a text box or frame with the position set as Bottom

I'm using Mail Merge to create a document that has a perferated section at
the bottom of the page. The information in the bottom portion must start

at
11.2" and cannot shift or it runs into the preprinted portion of the form.
I've tried section breaks and also putting the bottom portion in the

footer,
but it still shifts based on how many lines are in the address of the
recipient of the letter. I merge hundreds of these letters and it is very
time consuming to go through each letter to see the placement of the

bottom
section. Thank you!
