Having trouble making a template stick once created. I create template then
go back in to use for Data Entry and the fields move. Help!!

Put the fields in table cells. You may want to even change the cell
properties to not change with the amount of text entered. What you are
talking about is 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.

In Word-ese "templates" has a whole different meaning. A form can be a
template (and usually should) but most templates are not forms. For more on
the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations
of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.

Hope this helps,
