New page below current page???
Hello,
In Word2007 I have a page with textboxes and images and want to add a new page below it. If I add a page break or blank page, it is inserted above the current page. Is there a way to insert it below (which seems to me to be rational)? Thank you for your help and God Bless, Mark A. Sam |

New page below current page???
Each text box is anchored to a paragraph. What happens when you insert the
page break is that you are moving the anchor paragraph to the next page, and the text box follows. That's why it seems as if you are adding the new page before the existing one. Before pressing Ctrl+Enter, make sure to place the insertion point at the end of the page, or at least in a paragraph that doesn't have a text box anchored to it. To see anchors in the document, you can display nonprinting marks (use Ctrl+Shift+8 to show/hide the marks). Note that the anchors are visible only when you select an anchored object. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mark A. Sam" wrote in message ...

New page below current page???
And if there is only a single (empty) paragraph on the page, you may have to
insert a new paragraph and then drag the anchors from the (now) second paragraph back to the new first one, then insert a page break between the two paragraphs. If you are constructing an entire page with text boxes and images, then you are working against the way Word was designed to work (it is primarily a text flow application) and would probably be more comfortable in a page layout application such as Publisher. -- Suzanne S.

New page below current page???
Thanks for your help Stefan, I don't understand all of this and shouldn't
have to. It should be a simple menu choice to insert the page above or below the current. I'll just move the objects manually and pray that I never have to use Word again. This program has really degradated. You deserve a lot of credit for being patient this program. God Bless, Mark "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Each text box is anchored to a paragraph.

Suzanne, I haven't had problems with previous versions of Word. What I'm doing was simple in the past. A few months ago I wanted to make a slide show for a client and thought I'd use Powerpoint. It was difficult to use, and after I got the slideshow completed, it wouldn't autorun, so I redid it in Access and ended up with a superior program. I should use Access for my word processing needs and think I will. Thanks for you response and God Bless, Mark -- Suzanne S.

"Inserting a page" is never uncomplicated, unless you are dealing with a
page layout application. :-) But note that Word's behavior in this respect is no different from previous versions. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mark A. Sam" wrote in message ...

I am posting this for anyone else who has this problem. Maybe this is what
Stefan and Suzanne were trying to explain but I didn't understand. If you have textboxes on the page, click somewhere outside of any of the textboxes. That will put the cursor onto the page itself. If you type anything at all, even a space, then insert the page break, the new page will be inserted and the textboxes will remain where they are. "Mark A. Sam" wrote in message ...

Yes, what you need to do is get out of the paragraph containing the text box
anchor; then you can add the page break. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mark A. Sam" wrote in message ... I am posting this for anyone else who has this problem.
