I'd suggest using the appropriate labels template (from Tools>Letters & Mailings>Envelopes & Labels>Options) and carefully positioning text formfields into the labels (table cells), so they're positioned where the content needs to appear on the pre-printed stock, then protecting the document for forms. That way, you don't need the scanned image to be in the document and content can only be input in the formfields.

Thank you for your reply. I can see how to create a new label template in Word but I am a little uncertain as to how I should enter the suggested text boxes and particularly how to position them accurately. Word does not seem to offer an x,y coordinate facility. You also mention protecting the result. Once again, not sure. Sorry but I do not pretend to be a Word expert (or even close)! Any additional help welcome.
