When you insert a page break, you are forcing the text following it to
appear on the next page. If that's your intent, there are often better (less irrevocable) ways of doing it. 1. If you are positive you always want the text to start a new page (beginning of a chapter or section, for example), you can insert a manual page break, but often it is better to format the heading that begins the new part as "Page break before" (Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks). The reason for this is that a manual page break takes on the formatting of the following paragraph (the heading), which can cause problems if the heading style includes shading. 2. If you're just trying to keep text together, and there's a possibility that the text will need to reflow when upstream text is edited, it's better to keep it together using the "Keep with next" and (if necessary) "Keep lines together" check boxes in Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks. This will allow the text to flow as a block but will not prevent it from flowing back onto a previous page if there's room for it. Where you can really get into trouble with manual page breaks is when text is reformatted for a different printer. If a page ending in a manual page break is just one line too long to fit within the margins enforced by the printer, then one or two lines may be forced to the next page; because of the manual page break, there will be just the one line (or probably two, thanks to widow/orphan control) on that page; the whole document will alternate (almost) filled pages and two-line pages. -- Suzanne S.

You asked about the meaning of forcing text to the next page.

Do you deny that you wrote the post that says, "whats thats mean..force
something to a new page?" To go back to your original question, however, Alt+Enter does not insert a page break, so I'm not sure what it's doing for you. Perhaps you can describe in what way your copy/pasted material is changing when you paste it into an existing document? Note that text will reflow if the margins in the target document are different from those in the source document. Moreover, if you paste text in a given style into a document with a different definition of the same style, the formatting will change (as Shauna's articles describe). There are other possible changes based on section/document-level formatting. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "james" wrote in message ...

You do not understand how Word works, so you do not understand why that is the answer to your question. And you just want to know how to copy and paste without bothering to learn how Word works, which is like saying you want to fly an airplane without bothering to learn about wind and weather. Yes, you can open a new document and push keys on your computer to your heart's content wirthout knowing anything about how and why Word works. But you asked a question, and you asked because you didn't know something. And you got an answer from people who DO know some things. But you do not recognize it as an answer because it involves you putting out some effort to learn something new. If you don't care about learning about styles and sections and formatting, then I guess you are stuck pasting and manually reformatting. And you will stay there until you learn how learn from others.

Yes, you can open a new document and push keys on your computer to your heart's content wirthout knowing anything about how and why Word works. But you asked a question, and you asked because you didn't know something. And you got an answer from people who DO know some things. But you do not recognize it as an answer because it involves you putting out some effort to learn something new. i WOULDNT be that concerened about other people if i were you ! If you don't care about learning about styles and sections and formatting, then I guess you are stuck pasting and manually reformatting. And you will stay there until you learn how learn from others. Ed UHh ya that be the point, learn from others SO whats your trouble? |

I've been fairly incredulous myself; the OP someone else using the name of
"james" posted a similar question in microsoft.public.word.newusers. In his first post, he wrote: "Now each time i come on here, in whatever catigory, it seems iam quickly able to stump number of people or something... i dont know why that is..." It seems he expected not to get an answer, but he seems to have been satisfied with an explanation of the Paste Options button. -- Suzanne S.

Perhaps you can describe in what way your copy/pasted material is changing when you paste it into an existing document? Note that text will reflow if the margins in the target document are different from those in the source document. Moreover, if you paste text in a given style into a document with a different definition of the same style, the formatting will change (as Shauna's articles describe). There are other possible changes based on section/document-level formatting. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "james" wrote in message ...

The reason for this is that a manual page break takes on the formatting of the following paragraph (the heading), which can cause problems if the heading style includes shading. 2. If you're just trying to keep text together, and there's a possibility that the text will need to reflow when upstream text is edited, it's better to keep it together using the "Keep with next" and (if necessary) "Keep lines together" check boxes in Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks. This will allow the text to flow as a block but will not prevent it from flowing back onto a previous page if there's room for it. Where you can really get into trouble with manual page breaks is when text is reformatted for a different printer. If a page ending in a manual page break is just one line too long to fit within the margins enforced by the printer, then one or two lines may be forced to the next page; because of the manual page break, there will be just the one line (or probably two, thanks to widow/orphan control) on that page; the whole document will alternate (almost) filled pages and two-line pages. -- Suzanne S.

I have learnt how to insert a page in Ms Word 2002 (alt + enter) now i went to copy from another Ms word 2002 document and paste it into the inserted page i made in the 1st document... trouble is , it loses all its formating, yet it does Not lose its formatting when i paste it into a newly opened document. How can i paste it into the added page without loseig formatting? My answer addresses the problems you are having with text losing formatting when it is copied and pasted into a different document. -- Suzanne S.

Mm thats all nice and stuff but doesnt have to do with my question Are you replying to some1 eles question "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Do you deny that you wrote the post that says, "whats thats mean..force something to a new page?" To go back to your original question, however, Alt+Enter does not insert a page break, so I'm not sure what it's doing for you.
