Is there a way to 'freeze' text in Word so it doesn't move?

Is there a way to somehow 'freeze' text in Word so that it will not move no matter what you do to the document, like tabbing, returns, spacing... is there a way to keep text locked in place and uneditable while at the same time having text next to it editable?

Example...

Purchase Order #:
^^^
Locked ineditable text


24568
^^^
Text to be entered


Final product:

Purchase Order #: 24568

Thanks guys.

how about make a 'text box' (insert>text box) of "purchase order"

then select it, go to Format > text box > Layout tab > advanced button > uncheck "move object with text"

maybe anchor also...something like that...

That seemed to do it! Thanks much.
