Office & productivity software: add textbox to edge of every page
add textbox to edge of every page
by surrender10 - 2/23/08 4:43 PMHi all,
i am writing my thesis and i have 6 chapters. I want to add a textbox called "chapter 1" at a particular position to the edge of every page on chapter 1. On chapter 2, i want the textbox "chapter 2" at a lower position. A lower textbox for chapter 3 and so on. i want to do this because its easier to jump to certain chapters by just flipping the page in print format.
obviously i could manually copy paste but thats a lot of work and i could not manage this with templates either.
Please help me out guys.
Using office 2003 on windows xp pro.
thanks in advance
I drove someone crazy with my trick.

I did a similar feat but to get the print effect I ran the paper through the printer twice. Rather than waste time trying to get Word to do this I printed the border I wanted on top of the already printed page.
Later I learned someone who wanted to duplicate my effort had spent weeks trying to get Word to do it "because you did it."

Thats a good idea too. But Jay Freedman from officefrustration.com gave me this solution and a link that solves my problem.
