How to stop text from scrolling down as I type new text?
I would like each page to be independant from one another. Now, as I type,
the text from the next page scrolls down and I must backspace the text to teh top each time. |

A document is a series of connected pages. If you have 2 pages, place the cursor towards the end of the first page and start typing, what ever is after the cursor will be pushed down the page and on to the next page, evenetually adding a third page if you add enough suff. For 99.9 % of Word users this is just fine. You could turn Overwrite mode on (Insert key), but then you will eventually end up typing over the content on the second page. I guess you could insert a 1x1 table with the row height set to exactly the space you want on a page (about 10 inches high I guess, allowing for headers/footers). Make sure you do not allow rows to break across pages. To add pages, just Tab out of the 1x1 cell to add another row (or page). But working inside a table will cause other problems... Also, you could use a single textbox that covers the page, but again, this has limitations in other respects... What you want is a software like PageMaker (I believe it is not used by anybvody anymore....) Maybe somebody can recommend the equivalent of PageMaker nowdays... Maybe InDesign? Quark Xpress? |
