2 (simple, i hope) questions
Hi All,
1) How can I invert (upside-down) text on a page? 2) How can I simply delete a particular page? (I have the hardest time with this one) Thanks, Brian |

(I have the hardest time with this one) Word is not a page layout application. The document is continuous and formatting depends on the current printer driver. Thus to delete the 'page' you have to select the content of the page and delete that. This 'page' can comprise of several elements that are not in the text layer so the results are unpredictable, but a simple macro *MAY* help in at least some documents. There is always undo (CTRL+Z) if it doesn't go quite to plan: Sub PageDelete() ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

Thanks Graham.
Very useful information. I wasn't away that Word wasn't a page layout application as such, that explains the frustration when formatting documents. I would like to be able to format pages individually, but if I need to 'delete' a page, the formatting on previous (or successive) pages gets messed up. Any input on how to work around this? Or if there is another application that is 'friendlier'? Thanks again. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Brian wrote: Hi All, 1) How can I invert (upside-down) text on a page?
