Fixing a page or frame in place whilst text moves around it "Paul" <paulmjkaye[ at ]gmail.com> 30.08.2006 07:06:46 This is really two questions in one but here we go: I am putting my thesis together and want to include figures in the main document so that page numbering is correct. I want each figure (including caption) to be on its own, otherwise blank, page. However I may do a lot of editing in the future so ideally I want to be able to fix the fig&caption in place on page... let's say page 10 and have any text added to p9 to overflow onto p11 (and, obviously if I delete text from p9, text from p11 should jump back to p9). My first attempt used page-sized text boxes but I found out that captions, TOC and cross references don't work in text boxes because they are in the 'graphics layer'. So I moved on to frames. However I don't seem to be able to keep the frame in a fixed place. I have unchecked 'move object with text' but that doesn't seem to actually do anything! So my 2 questions in 1 are: 1) How can I REALLY fix a frame in place on page X? 2) Is there a better way to achieve what I am trying to do? (By the way, if there's a relevant difference between Word 2000 and Word 2003, I'm interested!)

Re: Fixing a page or frame in place whilst text moves around it CyberTaz <onlygeneraltaz1[ at ]com.cast.net> 04.09.2006 15:55:11 Perhaps this article will give more insight on what you are dealing with: http://word.mvps.org/mac/pagesinword.html Don't let the reference to Mac Word dissuade you, PC Word works the same. The short answer to #1 is: You can't The short answer to #2 is: For someone without in-depth experience with Word you'll be better off to do the final layout in a page layout program designed to handle the type of project you describe or 'hiring' someone to assemble the final product for you based on the draft copy from Word.
