    Not completely accurate... the fact is that an object *cannot* be anchored
    to a page in Word because Word has no physical page structure.
    The steps described are as close as you can get, but the absolute
    positioning on the page pertains to the "page" containing the *paragraph* to which the object is anchored. As long as that text is on the same page the object will stay put, but if that para flows to a different page the object will go with it and assume a possition on *that* page based on the Picture Position settings.
    To the OP: If possible you really should do this sort of fixed layout
    work in a program that supports it, such as Publisher. Even in Word there
    are other approaches that probably will work better if you supply more
    detail on what your overall objective is.

    Create a text box
    Right click on Text box border | Format Text box...
    Layout | Advanced
    Picture Position Tab
    Horizontal | Absolute Position | to the right of | Select Page
    Vertical | Absolute Position | below | Select Page

    This will lock your text box in the position on the page no matter how
    the text is edited on the rest of the page.
