How Do I Freely Move Text In Word??

[DaveStan]

Hi I am currently attempting to align words to a legal pad with lines but the formatting for word is throwing me off. Is there a way I can freely move the words on Microsoft word? What I mean by this is Drag a piece of text and move it to any part of the document I want?(I dont really want to use a text box because I don't want the white background to be behind it since the paper color is yellow with lines)


If not then are there any programs that anyone here knows where I can do that?

Word is not a page layout application. It uses styles to provide formatting. You should be able to create a style with the line spacing, inter-paragraph spacing and left or right indents to provide the alignments you require to fit your paper layout.

I don't recommend the use of text boxes, which are essentially graphical elements, but you can use them without background colour - even white. However you will still have the same vertical alignment issues ... unless you planned to use a separate text box for each line, and that would likely result in an unstable document. Use the styles!

Everything Graham said is correct and is exactly what you needed to hear. See Basic Concepts of Microsoft Word - from Shauna Kelly
