User Form/Page Layout question

[L. Charles Johnson]

I have established a template/form for a title page of a proposal. The user
of the template/form would enter the information: title, date, address,
etc...and that would be inserted in to the Title Page (via bookmarks)
formatted appropriately. The length of the title could vary significantly.

However, there are three items at the bottom of the page that I would like
to stay at the bottom of the page. The first of the three is a text box
anchored to the one-row table (with the other 2 items) I have set up (and I
don't want it be a footer) at the bottom of the page.

How can I make it where the items at the bottom of the page stay where they
are regardless of the length of the title and other info that could affect
page placement (there are paragraphs markers (I know, they're awful!) to get
the items in the appropriate place.

Please assist me with:

1. Getting rid of the naked paragraph markers
2. Making sure the info at the bottom of the page stays there without regard
for the length of the title 15 rows above.

I can provide a copy of the template if you need to see it. I apologize in
advance if my description of the problem is unclear.

In the more "advanced" settings for formatting the position of any graphical
object is an option to set whether it should "move with text" or not.
Deactivate that, and as long as the paragraph to which it is anchored doesn't
break to another page, the object should stay exactly where you put it,
relative to the page (unless someone drags it with the mouse)
