This seems like an idiotically simple question to me, but no one seems to know the answer.

In CS4, how do I create a text field at a specific origin pixel coordinate? Or how do I move an already created text field to a specific origin pixel? That is, if I want to have a text object with origin point 140, 250, how do I get it exactly there?

On a related note, how do I draw a box from a specific starting pixel to a specific ending pixel?

P.S. I know I could drop two guides for the horizontal and the verticle pixel and then line the graphic up with these, but this is a very slow method that litters the psd up with single use guides. If I'm doing this many times in an image, and I am, I want a method that doesn't make me want to headdesk repeatedly per image.
