Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) I have a 1 page
(completely full on all margins) document that contains many blanks
(made with horizontal lines created as objects). On each line I need to
be able to add text (dates and names), but I do not want all other
document text to move as I add text to the blanks. I can add the text
now, but I then have to carefully delete empty spaces to return all the
other document text to its original position. Is there any way to "lock"
the original text in place, so that I can "fill in the blanks" without
all the other text moving??
Hi,
In the All-In-One for Dummies book we have a fairly lengthy discussion
about achoring objects and how text flows around objects. The
discussions are the opening parts of Chapter 7 starting on page 311.
A very short explanation is that you should right-click or control-click
on the line object and choose Format from the pop-up menu. There's an
Advanced button - click it. On the Picture Position tab of the Advanced
Layout dialog box look in the Options section and select which options
you wish to apply to your object.
This is a five page discussion with screen shots and additional
explanation in the book. You can look inside the book at the Amazon site
by following the link below and then signing into Amazon.com.
