Even text boxes and floating tables and graphics are always "anchored" to a particular paragraph of regular text, and if that paragraph moves to another page, the floating object will go with it. I think for this kind of job you'd be much happier with a real page layout program such as Publisher. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Thanks, I am not familiar with Publisher & belong to the BC generation
(before computers). Is Publisher similar to Word or is it a entirely new program? I only use 3 programs & Word is the only word processing one. I write articles and create daily calendar dairies in Word format. Sometimes I need to paste a whole page and need to keep the content and format intact such as an email or letter from another source. I have read about textbook format? Is the a Word function & would it allow me to work around pages I want to leave intact that are in the middle of a document.

I think you might achieve the effect you want by inserting a text box
(from the Insert menu, select Text Box; then click in the upper left corner of the page and drag toward the lower right corner). Then paste the information from the other source inside the text box. If it fits on one page, that should keep it together -- but I'm not making any promises about formatting (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...xtChanges.html for some of the things that can go wrong). As I mentioned before, a text box is anchored to a regular text paragraph -- wherever the cursor is at the time you use the Insert Text Box command -- and if that paragraph moves to a different page, the text box will also move. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
