Default New page below current page???

And if there is only a single (empty) paragraph on the page, you may have to
insert a new paragraph and then drag the anchors from the (now) second
paragraph back to the new first one, then insert a page break between the
two paragraphs. If you are constructing an entire page with text boxes and
images, then you are working against the way Word was designed to work (it
is primarily a text flow application) and would probably be more comfortable
in a page layout application such as Publisher.

Each text box is anchored to a paragraph. What happens when you insert the
page break is that you are moving the anchor paragraph to the next page,
and the text box follows. That's why it seems as if you are adding the new
page before the existing one.

Before pressing Ctrl+Enter, make sure to place the insertion point at the
end of the page, or at least in a paragraph that doesn't have a text box
anchored to it.

To see anchors in the document, you can display nonprinting marks (use
Ctrl+Shift+8 to show/hide the marks). Note that the anchors are visible
only when you select an anchored object.

Hello,

In Word2007 I have a page with textboxes and images and want to add a new
page below it. If I add a page break or blank page, it is inserted above
the current page. Is there a way to insert it below (which seems to me
to
be rational)?

Thank you for your help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam
