Thank you VERY much Brian. It works GREAT! I knew there must be a way to do
it but I was unable to discover the method. Thanks again.

The only way you can do this is by putting the text boxes on the MasterPage.
Select the text boxes and group, then go to Edit Cut. Then go to View
Masterpage. Then go to Edit Paste. Then go back to the View menu and
uncheck View Masterpage to get back to the main page.

I use the same basic format every week for a church bulletin. I would like
to
lock several text boxes that need to stay the same all the time. I tried
grouping but that does not lock the boxes. Is there any way to lock text
and
text boxes so they cannot be accidently changed? Your help would be
greatly
appreciated.
