Hi all,
How do I go about creating an ‘insert’ page in MS Word 2000?
For example, say I have a 5 pages long document, and I want the ‘insert’ to appear at page 3. So what happened is this. Any editing I do on page 1 or page 2 will just neatly flow into page 4, without distrubing the ‘insert’ page whatsoever?
I know I could do this with a textbox that covers the entire page, but it’s ugly and cumbersone. How else can I achieve such an effect?
Many thanks in advance!
Ctrl+Enter will create a new page, just use that at the beginning of page 3. 
Thanks, but, eh, it is not what I have in mind.
I want the content of page 2 to flow into page 4, without disturbing page 3 in anyway. So if I contiune to type on page 2, the text will not nudge or move the content in page 3 in anyway, and shall flow into page 4.
I could use page breaks, but if at any point I need to add or change stuff in the previous page, there will be a lot of gapping spaces left in page 2, or the stuff from page 3 will spill into page 4.
I just want all the stuff in page 3 to be always on its own page, regardless of how much editing I made in page 1 or page 2 and the content from page 2 must flow into page 4, that is, no big gapping spaces at the end of page 2 either. I tried sections, but they are not giving me the results I want.
I don’t really understand what you mean by the text box being ugly or cumbersome? They’r eeasy to insert, and you can make the box itself disappear by right clickign on the box , choosing format box, then setting the line color to white (or whatever color your background is). The text box then simply looks like all the other text in your document. OTOH, I’m not really sure I’d want an inserted page of text like this to look identical to surrounding pages.
Is this going to be for a document you’ll frequently be editing at the office or something? Otherwise, I simply don’t see the practicality of what you want. If it’s just for a one time deal, I’d say suck it up, ctrl + enter, fix any formatting and deal with it. Or, you could simply reorder the pages after you print it out.
Usually, some books have a seperate page, usually of a different background, which is like a sidebar, except that this sidebar takes up an entire page.
Oh yeah, when don’t I use textboxes? Because it’s difficult to set up two columns text with textboxes (I know I could use 2 textboxes, but…)
Hmmm…would you be able to use Publisher to make your insert page, then just stick the whole thing in the middle of your Word doc? I know you wanted to stay in Word, but it was just a thought.
