Default How do I paste a webgraphic across 2 pages, instead of one?

Word cannot spread images across pages.
Either increase your page size, say from A4 to A3, but this may not be
appropriate for the document, if this image is in the middle of text.
Or paste the image twice (one on each page) and crop the image to
requirements.
This is not the best solution, maybe for this job you shold consider a
publishing package: Publisher, Quark, etc.
If you are just using Word to contain the image and the file is not to have
any other information, such as text, why not use a Picture Editing package,
such MS Paint, MS Picture Manager, PhotoShop, or even good'ol PowerPoint. At
least then you can have the image whatever size you need.
All the best

I copied a map legend from the web and pasted it onto my Word document, but
it's too long for just one page. How can I make it go across two pages or
more, instead of only one, while keep the info intact? I did already try
"resizing" and formatting by rightclicking and all that, but it just makes
the text within the box too small to read or too blurry. Also, please could
you reply as if instructing a 2nd or 3rd grader as I'm new to using the
computer and it's programs and a newbie to terms etc. Thanks in advance for
your assistance. JP
