Why not use the AutoShapes on the Drawing Toolbar. It sounds like thy
should
do what you describe. Right-Click just about any you draw & choose Add
Text
from the contextual menu... Since they're vectors they render on screen &
in
print far better than Fireworks web graphics, which are too low res for
print.
I'm not clear on what the final output format is, but you may want to
consider PowerPoint instead of Word - it can be used to output other than
slides & offers more versatility from the same AutoShape tools Word uses.
