Locking floating text box locations in word
Hello I have floating text boxes in a word document. I want to lock/anchor the test boxes so they do not move at all. I still want to be able to edit the text in the boxes. I have the latest version...
In Word, you can't really anchor a text box to a specific page, if that is what you are trying to do. Text boxes will always move when the surrounding content moves.
To be more precise, a text box will always be on the same page as the paragraph containing the text box anchor. You can still set the position of the text box relative to the page edges, if that helps. Use the Layout dialog box to set the exact values for position. See screen shot.
