Fitting text into a page without overflowing
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? David |

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 ...

Fitting text into a page without overflowing
Many thanks for pointing me to the Web site. I have tried two of the methods
suggested - one to compress the text 0.1 pt and the other "shrink to fit". Both seem to do the trick. Thanks. David "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
