How do I force my text to the bottom of the document no matter what is above
it? I want to place an Image or Data at the top of varying length but I
want this specific text (4 rows) at the bottom left.

You can use a textbox with a relative position to the page instead of to the
paragraph (Format > Text Box... > Layout tab > Advanced... button > Set both
Horizontal and Vertical position relative to page). Then remove the textbox
borders.

But, personally, I prefer using Frames (Forms Toolbar) because you can
create a style that will apply the frame to any selected text. If you apply
a style that includes the frame to a selected text, that text will move
automatically to the position dictate by the frame (again in this case I
would set the position relative to page).

The easiest way to create such a style is to create a framed paragraph,
place it where you want it, then select it (making sure to include the last
inside the frame) and then do Format > Style and Formatting... to create a
style based on the selected text.

I appreciate it. I meant to say I was using VB.NET to accomplish this but I
believe the base logic will remain the same.

What is the best way to set the Text Box at the bottom with VB.NET? I think
I am missing something particular in my code or I am making it too
difficult.

Again, the easiest would be to create a style with a frame and then apply
that style to the target text. It will automatically be placed were you want
it(according the frame settings).


Otherwise, look up the Top and Left properties of the Shape object (A
textbox is a Shape).

Not sure abut the exact VB.Net code... I have only used VB Classic...

Thanks again.

Can I ask what you would do in VB Classic? I can play around with it and
see what I can figure out but I thought it wouldn't hurt asking.

I think a template could make this a little easier.

Using the complicated text box approach or the easy frame solution?

???
I thought you had a template.
What are you trying to do?
Why can't you use a template?
