Im trying to create a template to print some information on a blank document based in coordinates or pixels or cm, wtv is possible.
why? I have some accounting forms which is to bad fill it manual. Im wondering if it is possible to create a function with some parameters related to the text box positions in document.
eg. txtName goes to (3,15) position in a document. It may be necessary define the size of document
If it is possible, what language you recommend?
Yes, it is possible.
If you use Microsoft Word to insert a text box into a blank document, then save it, and inspect the resulting docx, you'll see Word inserts the text box in 2 formats:

As a first step you'll want to play in Word with how the boxes are positioned - I guess you want them positioned against the page, not a paragraph.
Then its just a matter of replicating the XML in your choice of language.
You could:
