text box positioning, printing and between loads
 

I have created layered text boxes in order to create linked words in a
paragraph - layering the same linked text in it's own text box on top
of the unlinked text creates the illusion of a hyperlink without having
to link all the text in the cell or textbox.

The problem is twofold:
1) the text boxes don't maintain their position relative to each other
in between loads (when the document is closed and re-opened the boxes
sometimes shift by a few pixels)
2) the text boxes don't maintain their relative positions when printing
(the overlayed text boxes seem to float all over the place).

Is there a solution to either of these problems? I have tried grouping
the text boxes as well as locking the sheets to no effect. Any advice
appreciated!

Thanks,
Pauline
