No: Bob is correct.
To amplify what he said: You can't "Lock" a text box, ever: it's always
relative to the paragraph it is anchored to. Everything in a Word document
in relative to a paragraph: that's the way Word works.
A "Master Page" in Publishing layout view is a con: it's not a master page
at all, it's a strange use of the section running header.
If you want squares that hold text and won't move, use "Tables".
Hope this helps

Can you Lock Master Pages text boxes so they don't move within the document?
