I have really liked winword but I am going to be upset if it can't
do what I need!

I am going to use print merge and print database information on to
pre-printed forms.  So that means I need to print something at
a specific location relative to the page.   For instance, I may
need the string "hello" printed 3" down and centered.  Then I
need either a field or another string(doesn't matter) printed
1" below and some other stuff 2.5" below.

How can I do this?  The only way I have found to do this is by
exhaustive trial and error.  There is no vertical ruler!  Font
size also changes between fields.  I could easily create the
form in designer or pagemaker but I need databse information in
them !!!!!!  AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH !

Any ideas?
