template...sort of?

[Dana in Portland]

I am trying to create a "template" (not a true Word template, but a document
my co-workers would use like a template) in Word that will be used to
customize posters. Users would open the document, type their message in
pre-placed text boxes (that line up with blank areas on the poster), then
print directly onto the poster.

My problem is this. I have attempted to create the "template" using a text
box, don't want a black outline to print on the poster. If I make the box no
line no fill, the user cannot see where the box is placed on the page. Can
someone help me solve this problem? Alternative suggestions for ways to
create my "template" are also welcomed!

Thanks, Dana

Use a table without borders, but with the gridlines displayed. Size the
cells of the table to exact dimensions so that the text is in the right
place.
