Thanks Graham.

Very useful information.

I wasn't away that Word wasn't a page layout application as such, that
explains the frustration when formatting documents.

I would like to be able to format pages individually, but if I need to
'delete' a page, the formatting on previous (or successive) pages gets
messed up.

Any input on how to work around this? Or if there is another application
that is 'friendlier'?

Thanks again.

Hi All,

1) How can I invert (upside-down) text on a page?

See http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm


2) How can I simply delete a particular page? (I have the hardest
time with this one)

Word is not a page layout application. The document is continuous and
formatting depends on the current printer driver. Thus to delete the
'page'
you have to select the content of the page and delete that. This 'page'
can
comprise of several elements that are not in the text layer so the results
are unpredictable, but a simple macro *MAY* help in at least some
documents.
There is always undo (CTRL+Z) if it doesn't go quite to plan:

Sub PageDelete()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete
End Sub
