Office 2003 layout issues

mrsimian · 07-15-2008, 01:45 PM

Hello.

I was looking to create a layout on a page that consisted of a few lines and a text box that is aligned to the right hand side of the page as a notes field. I wanted to add some shapes to make the page look good and have either the main page free for text (to wrap around the text box) or have the main page text in a text box itself. However when I create this layout I want it so that when I start a new page, all of the text boxes that I have set up on the first page are replicated for the second page and so on.

Is there a way to lock formatting (shapes and text boxes) to a page so that they cannot be moved and so that they are a default layout for subsequent pages?

Thanks for the help!

just save it as a template

Thanks, but I found that it doesn't seem to carry the formatting on to the second page when I use the template.
