I am trying to create a template that has images down the left hand side, top side and bottom. I then want an area of text that is not overlapping the images so that my users can add/modify the default text that I will place on the document which is basically a customer related letter. What is the best way to achieve this? I have looked at Text boxes but they don't really seems suitable for the purpose. I will basically need a customer address box (which I have used a text box for now), letter intro which will have a few fields I would like to add quotation numbers etc. I will then add a table below so I can Fx the quotation fields [=Sum(ABOVE)], and then a closing paragraph.

To do this in Adobe writer is easy but for the life of me I can't work out how to do it in Word 2010.

In addition, is there a way of creating a drag sized box that will limit where text can be placed on a document.

Sorry if this is a bit confusing

Thanks

Hi Toni,

Word quite happily works with images (which you can place anywhere on the page, including behind the text) and with tables (which is what you'd need for the =Sum(ABOVE) calculation. For a sample invoice, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post33048
