How do I set up a stop code for specific location on each page?

I need to always have a name on Line 30, Column 11, chart number on Line 31,
Column 11. Anyway to set this up? (Used to be called a stop code either in
Displaywrite or Corel Word Perfect.)

I don't know how the "stop codes" work in WordPerfect, but I suspect
an ADVANCE field is the closest equivalence in Word. It can be used to
position text at a specific distance, measured in points, from the top
edge of the paper. For example:

{ ADVANCE \y 200 }Text here.

would put "Text here" 200 pt below the top edge.

It might be easier to use a frame or table (without borders), though.
In addition, this would be the common method to do it in Word.

Note: To insert a field, press Ctrl+F9. Word adds the field
delimiters, { }. Type the code. Press F9 to update. To toggle between
showing field results and field codes, press Alt+F9.
