hi i have to create a word template which includes a combination of tables
and text. how do i make certain that the text/document does not shift down
once the user is typing in her/ his information?

What you are talking about is probably what Word calls an "online form."
Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm for answers to
how to fix typing locations.

Hope this helps,
