Print exactly in place on a certificate

©

©®

I have to print some names on ready-made certificates for our
university.
Is there a utility/add-on that would allow me to get right on the line
(or 1 or 2 mm above the line?)
I do have Office 2003 but wondered if there was a recommended app to use
or is easy to do in Office 2k3?
If I scanned the certificate, is there any way to make a "tracing" of it
appear in my document as a "background" and from there use the document
as a template so I can choose where the text box goes?
Thanks

Dear ©®,

You can insert the image of the certificate in the header. If you select it,
the Picture-toolbar appears. You can modify the colors of the picture in the
document with the 2nd to the 6th buttons.

From there on you can place a table in the main document that allows you to
align the text box.

My experience is that aligning with preprinted documents is a tricky job,
that consists of repeatingly printing, checking (measuring), and adjusting...
and what is right for printer 1, does not work for printer 2. I strongly
advise my customers (I've been building Word templates for over 10 years now)
not to us preprinted paper.

Success,
Cooz

You could scan it and place it full size as a background image (properties >
layout > behind text) or simply measure and use paragraph formatting to
place the text where you want it.
