Locking a page? "Gordon" <gbplinux[ at ]gmail.com.invalid> 6/27/2007 9:51:47 AM Word 2007. I am creating a multi-page Parish profile where I will be adding content to some pages but not to others. is there a way of locking pages so that those pages that are finalised are not affected by the addition of text in pages above? I.e. when I add text to a page above, the text wraps to fit the page and does not cause the text on the page below to move down, thus necessitating the deletion of blank lines in order to bring the text back to the top of the page? Thanks in advance!

Re: Locking a page? "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 6/27/2007 10:19:34 AM You can format each paragraph that should always start on a new page with "Page break before" formatting: 1. Place the insertion point in the paragraph. 2. On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher, and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab. 3. Select the "Page break before" check box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Gordon" wrote in message news:eswFJDKuHHA.668[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... [Quoted Text] > Word 2007.

Re: Locking a page? "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 6/27/2007 10:51:50 AM To fix this, delete any blank paragraphs (¶) before the paragraph that is set to "Page break before." Also, make sure that you didn't inadvertently format multiple successive paragraphs with "Page break before," which would create the same problem. The task will be easier if you display nonprinting marks, which can be done by pressing Ctrl+Shift+8 (acts as a toggle). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Gordon" wrote in message news:%23YPXidKuHHA.1188[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
