In other words, I have created a letterhead form with two text boxes near the
top margin, and a text box at the left margin, about a 1/4 page down. How do
I maintain that position (starts at 1/4 left margin) but have a different
margin when putting in copy for the letter? I have the text boxes with
absolute positions so they don't move but can't figure this one out. I would
like the body to have a 1.5 inch margin.

I am using MS Word 2003.

Are these text boxes anchored to the First Page Header? See

Stewart,
Have you put your textboxes in the header of your document?
Have a read he

Especially read the section devoted to more complex letterheads.
That should put you on the right track, thanks to Suzanne Barnhill.
