How do you lock a page's content?
Is your publication setup as a booklet? View, uncheck two page spread. You
should now be able to delete a single page. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "KLeDrew" wrote in message ...

How do you lock a page's content?
Whether I delete it in single page mode or 2 page spread (it is a booklet)
I've discovered that it deletes the last page of the booklet, not the page I am viewing or working on. In two page spread view I asked it to delete right hand page... then the last page of the document disappeared. ? any way of asking it to delete a specific page number?

How do you lock a page's content?
Booklets are setup so when you delete a page you are also deleting what is on
the back of that page. That content has to go somewhere. In essence you are restacking the pages. Insert a page at the end. Booklets must be in groups of four... If you need to do a lot of deleting, change the publication to a custom size 8.5 X 5.5 portrait. Do your editing, turn it back into a booklet when you are finished. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "KLeDrew" wrote in message ...

How do you lock a page's content?
I'll try that thanks... my problem is not the restacking it's the fact I
cannot delete the content of the page by deleting page. It just deletes a page at the end (with the end page content). My document is getting pretty messed up - I'm now trying to copy and paste content from a saved previous version and that's not working too well either. Hopefully changing the format to portrait will help. I'm feeling frustrated. "Mary Sauer" wrote: Booklets are setup so when you delete a page you are also deleting what is on the back of that page.

How do you lock a page's content?
Hi again Mary - my booklet is 8.5 x 11 and can't be contained the size you
suggest. Is there no other way of removing the booklet format to change back to single pages? I've searched all the options and can't seem to do it unless I apply a different template which removes all my custom formatting. To delete the pages I want removed I tried moving them to the back of the document and removing four pages at once and it still removes other pages in my document and just slides the text from the last four pages into other parts of the booklet. I'm thinking if I can separate the pages that would stop happening. ? "Mary Sauer" wrote: Booklets are setup so when you delete a page you are also deleting what is on the back of that page.

How do you lock a page's content?
Are you printing on tabloid (11 X 17) stock? You simply need to go to page setup
and select letter. If you are using 2007 I suggest going to page setup; chose advanced on the right pane, type 8.5 X 11 in the page size and select One page per sheet. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "KLeDrew" wrote in message ...

How do you lock a page's content?
No didn't use tabloid. Your suggestion was 8.5 x 5.5 which was too small for
my use - I tried re selecting the 8.5 x 11 single page but still when I delete a page the rest of the document gets rather messed up. The text of the deleted pages move into the document - objects disappear - pretty much all 'fudged' up! Must be something in how I set up the brochure initially - I'm stumped. I've just moved the pages I want to delete to the end of the brochure for now with a section between the main document and the unwanted pages. This program doesn't seem to be very "intuitive". Not so good for those who want to teach themselves! "Mary Sauer" wrote: Are you printing on tabloid (11 X 17) stock? You simply need to go to page setup and select letter.
