What you're talking about, with Photoshop, you can do that in Word. It supports importing full resolution JPGs: just make sure you get your margins set up right, and then overlay some text-fields. Probably help get your alignment a little tighter a little quicker.


That sounds like it would work. Didn't know Word could do that!


Okay, the only problem with this is that I can't seem to get Microsoft Word to move text boxes without snapping to the grid.

Edit: If I hold Alt while dragging, it will let me adjust the margin spacing of the text box without snapping to grid, which helps, but is still kind of a roundabout way of approaching the problem.

Get rid of "snap to grid":

First enable the Drawing toolbar:
View -> Toolbars -> Drawing

Then access the grid menu. From the Drawing toolbar:
Draw -> Grid

Then uncheck "Snap objects to grid"

Well, that's the way I can do it here at work with Word 2003.

While we're on the subject, is there any way to change the default settings for text boxes? I just want them to be automatically created without outlines and with a transparent background.

Set up the Text Box however you like. Then right click the box and choose "Set Autoshape Defaults". Make sure that you're selecting the box and not the area inside the box.

Also I might suggest going to Tools -> Options and the General tab and unclicking "Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting Autoshapes." I fucking hate that drawing canvas.
