Locking table position

[Keith Woollacott]

Is it possible to lock or anchor a table to a specific position on a page?
Users should still be able to edit text in cells.

Keith,
You could put the table in a frame. Format the frame to not move with the
text and anchor it to the first paragraph of the page.

 

[Tony Jollans]

If you set text wrapping for the Table to "Around" (in Table Properties),
you can then uncheck "move with text" and choose where to put the table,
using the Positioning sub-dialog of Table Properties.

Luc,
Excuse my ignorance, but what's a frame? I have looked in most places and
searched the Word help files but can't find any reference to frames.

 

[Keith Woollacott]

Tony - did as you suggested, but it doesn't fix the problem. Yes, the table
doesn't move if the user types outside the table, but it allows them to
accidently (or otherwise) drag the table around the page.

For Frame, read Text Box. Set the position of the text box relative to the
page with the text set to wrap around it.
