Select the object, Graphic Image, paragraph, whatever you wish to
anchor.  Then select Position from the Format menu.  Set the
Horizontal and Vertical positions to somewhere close.  Select Page
Preview from the File Menu, this will show you where the selected
object will print.  Select the page margins Icon, second from top.
Place the cursor over the item to be "anchored", click and drag it to
wherever on the page you want it.  It will be anchored in that
position.  Word 4.0 will flow text around the anchored object.

For all but the first file in the chain, select Document from the
Format menu and clear the Number Pages From: box, don't set to 0, make
sure its blank.  This will cause Word to number pages sequentially
across multiple files.

Hope I got all that right.  Comments from anyone else?
