Can Word overflow text to leave pages with pics/tables text-free?
I am working on my dissertation and trying to tell Word not to put any text
on pages that contain pics or tables. The pics/tables, however, do have text headings that should remail on the page with the pic/table. Since I am revising the document constantly, every time I change something, my entire document layout gets messed up and I have to move every paragraph manually. Please help, since it is VERY time consuming! |

Can Word overflow text to leave pages with pics/tables text-free?
I won't presume to offer suggestions on controlling where Word breaks your
pages, but I can offer a practical suggestion if you have no alternative except to continue adjusting your layout manually. Just let the pages run until you are ready to print your final version of the document and THEN insert your page breaks. As long as you are making changes to the content of the document, your layout will be in constant flux, so even if you use column, page or section breaks, you will more likely than not end up having to go back and move them. Hope this helps. I've been a technical writer for years, and I've yet to encounter a command or procedure that can "absolutely" break the pages as I need them to be.

Can Word overflow text to leave pages with pics/tables text-fr
Charles,
Thanks for the note. I actually have it setup that way, but whenever I have to change something, I end up with empty pages with only one line of text. etc. I need to tell the program to overflow to the next page past the pne containing the pic/table.

Word cannot wrap text around a full-page graphic. This is why you don't even
bother to try to insert or place graphics until editing is complete. -- Suzanne S.
