Re: text boxes keep repositioning on the page

Using Publi****ng Layout view or not really depends on the sort of do***ent
you're trying to make. It sounds like it might fit for what you're trying
to do. In case it doesn't though, I think the secret you're looking for is
under the Format menu - Text box or shape or what have you - layout tab -
advanced. In there you'll find options on how the object is positioned
relative to some spot in the text of the do***ent. As that spot moves
around with the text, then the text box or whatever will move relative to
it. You can set it to be "to the right of" page and "below" page rather
than like column and paragraph. Of course if that magic spot in the text
gets moved off the page, the text box will still move off that page too.
Creating stuff in Publi****ng Layout view just tries to hide all this from
you so you can just put stuff where you want it and it stays.
