Microsoft Word - how to lock a text box?

Dinarius · 2018-07-25 17:35:12

I have created A4 templates for Fax/Memo and Invoice. Each has a text box which will contain anything I type. (Outside of the text box is only contact details, masthead, etc.) When I type within the box and use the return key, the bottom of the box moves down the page. How can is make it a fixed entity? Thanks. D.

Which "text box" template you use

on O2016 Pro
"simple text box" or "draw text box" doesn't resize, text overflow goes inside box, hidden under bottom line of the box, "Filigree quote" definitely does. Didn't check rest.

It probably depend on textbox template you choose
