Hi,

I need to print check in word xp. I need to have my text fixed at certain
positions no matter if i change some other text. How can i achieve that?

Another thing is say i want my first line to start from 3 inches from the
left and finish it before 2 inches from the right. My second line will start
from 0.5 inches from left and finishes 1.0 inches before right. Is that
possible?

B/Rgds,

Mosaddeq

It's possible but Word really isn't the best choice of programs to fill out
checks. Try text boxes.

Put a borderless 2 row table with about 8-10 columns over the area you wish
to write.
Merge the columns that occupy the space you wish to write
Fix the column width and row heights for the table and type away!

Thanks for the reply. Problem with text is to place in the exact position. I
need to place them in exact position so the text doesn't interfere with
other text. is it possible to set the text box in the exact position by
giving the co-ordinates?

If you insert a Text Box, right-click on its edge and select properties, you
have a whole range of options for positioning the box including one for
locking it in place.

Graham's alternative of creating a table with sufficient rows and columns to
provide the necessary cells over the areas you need to input the data will
work equally as well.
