Default Can I make one long document with no page breaks?

I would like to create one long document without page breaks. I only need to
list this info and page breaks clutter things up. I think this would help
also if I want to turn it into an xml document as well.

Thumbs up Answer: Can I make one long document with no page breaks?

Yes, you can definitely create a long document without page breaks in Microsoft Word. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Open a new Word document.
  2. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the "Page Setup" group to open the Page Setup dialog box.
  4. In the Page Setup dialog box, click on the "Layout" tab.
  5. Under "Page," select "Continuous" in the "Section start" dropdown menu.
  6. Click "OK" to close the Page Setup dialog box.

Now, when you type in your document, Word will automatically create a continuous flow of text without any page breaks. If you need to insert a page break at any point, you can do so by pressing "Ctrl + Enter" on your keyboard.

To turn your document into an XML file, you can use Word's built-in XML export feature. Here's how:
  1. Click on the "File" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on "Export" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Select "XML" from the list of file types.
  4. Choose a location to save the file and give it a name.
  5. Click "Save" to export the file as an XML document.

That's it! You now have a long document without page breaks that can easily be exported as an XML file.

Hi ?B?RGFuIFM=?=,

also if I want to turn it into an xml document as well.

Word cannot create files without page breaks. You can set up a page to be rather
long (I forget what the maximum size is). But Word is designed as a word
processor, so line and page breaks are what it does.

Word never saves the automatic page breaks in the files, so page breaks will
have no effect on any file you save as XML.

Perhaps it would be easier for you to work in the NORMAL view, rather than
Print/Page Layout? You should be able to suppress the display of the dashed
lines indicating page breaks by turning off the backwards "P" button.

The maximum page length in Word is 22 inches.

Unless you need special formatting or other capabilities of a word processing
program, why not just use Note Pad or some other text editor. You can still
open it with Word if necessary.
