[comp.text.tex] Making LaTeX overprint a form.

jlong@radc.af.mil (Jeff Long) (10/02/90)

Am I trying to make LaTeX do something it can't do? I would like to make
a form overprint .tex file that will let me place the desired text correctly
over an existing form.  
 I tried using the picture environment, but couldn't get it to make a full
page picture that would start at the bottom-left corner of the page and accurately place the text where I want it.

Is there another way to accurately place text on a page (using x,y coordinates?)using LaTeX, or am I trying force a square peg in a round hole?
