fucking wod drives me insane, halp?

(uh, WORD. it wont let me edit the title now. )

I'm creating certificate templates, is there an easier way to do this?

I create the background and nonchangeable text as an image in photoshop and import it as a footer in word. Then place tables where the input text will be and save the document..

This time I am struggling to get the tables in the right spots though. Fucking drag and drop bs.

There is probably an easier way that my mind is not seeing due to being full of rage.

They will eventually need to be re done anyway when they are set up in our database to run as reports, but for the moment people are entering the data manually and so this is the only way I can think of that gives them a template to do so..

suggestions?

I don't have it! because I can't afford it

Did you like it? Is it a multiple browse or read once and sit on the shelf?

For me, I took my time with it, reading different comics at random. It's not bad... and the artwork can be really really great but at times it just feels really awkward. Like in the one for Take To The Sky a girl's dancing up on some guy and her friend screams "You are takin' to the limit!"... I don't know. I liked it, but felt mildly disappointed with some reads. Others, like Baker Baker, were really great though.
