Anchoring text

[Lyn Adkin via OfficeKB.com]

I'm using Office 2000 and am sure there must be a way of anchoring text or
a table to a specific point on the page (say 4.1 inches down the top margin)
so that it does not move when empty space is used above it. I am designing
a form that is locked and one of the tables needs to be able to grow but
without pushing the information at the bottom off the page. I have allowed
for extra room to be taken up further down the page but cannot lock the
bottom paragraph. I cannot put it into the footer or into a text box
because it contains a text form field that needs to be accessed by the
user.

Can anyone out there help me?

If you use a floating text box you can go someway towards that effect
but I really don't recommend it.

Thank you - your suggestion really worked. I have used Word for more years
than I care to remember and would consider myself an expert, however I have
never considered using a frame and was not really familiar with them. I am
pleasantly surprised at their versatility.

Once again, thanks.
