Default Fitting text into a page without overflowing

Hello David

I frequently edit a small magazine using Word XP. Sometimes a short one-page
article will overflow (one line maybe) onto the next page. Trial-and-error
with character spacing, font percentage etc usually allows it to fit all on
the same page but is there an easier way?


Word, as a text processor, is designed to do this. You could setup a
frame- or textbox layout where text flows only in a box, and with
textboxes you can concatenate two so that it flows from one to the
other. This is somewhat using Word as a DTP application. Doable if you
know the application well enough; I would not want to do it with _long_
documents, though ...
