Positioning Merge fields in MS WORD

[batteam]

I want to place text fields in a WORD document so they can be merged /printed on a pre-printed stock document we will be loading into the printer.

I am having a problem positioning the merge fields "exactly" in the correct spot on the WORD document so they will print in "exactly" the right spot on my pre-printed stock document in the printer.

Is there a way to type in using pixels measurements or something, the exact position to place a merge field in a WORD document? I am using line spacing and measurement unit options, but they don't seem to get me exactly what I want. Thanks for any help on this.

I believe I have found my own solution.

I inserted my merge fields in a 'text box', using the drawing tool bar. I then edited the box to have no borders. Once I had my fields in the box, MS WORD lets you 'nudge' the box up, down or sideways using the Ctrl + Arrow key(s). Works great!!!

Hope this helps out someone in the future.
