Locking Pictures on a Page

J

Joe Callus

I have created a letterhead using Forms Boxes on an page and would like to
prevent the image boxes from being inadvertently moved on the page.

When I use the Lock on the Forms Menu it locks the boxes, but will not allow
me to enter text on the page
Is there a way to lock the picture boxes, once positioned on the page, so
that they cannot easily be re-positioned?


Thank you!

Hi Joe,

Cut a box to the clipboard. Then open the header area, paste the box,
and drag it to the position on the page where it should be (floating
objects anchored in the header don't have to stay inside the header
rectangle, they can go anywhere on the page). Repeat for the other
boxes.

If the form is more than one page long, then before you cut & paste,
first go to File > Page Setup on the Layout tab, and check the box for
Different First Page. When you paste, do it in the First Page Header
pane. Then the boxes will appear only on the first page and not on all
the rest.

Worked !
Thanks for the advice Jay, I was pasting graphic images and following your
instructions solved all of my problems.

Thanks Suzanne, I have the problem solved.
I had seen the document your link referred to for other information and when
I re-read it answered some questions.

thank you for your quick response.
