Default How do I prevent reflow

In writing a 250 page book, I use the same computer for saving and opening
the file. I constantly get reflow and wording that no longer fits on the
page, or overflow.

Default How do I prevent reflow

Hi argonaut,

Your problem description sounds like you're using hard page breaks to try to force everything onto the same page, but that's not
what they're for or how Word works. Hard page breaks exist to ensure the subsequent text starts on a new page, not to keep something
on the current page when there's no space available. If you think more should fit, try adjusting the page margins and/or paper size
and/or reducing the font size.

Cheers
