Anchors Question

Is it possible to put an object like a picture on a page by itself while
letting Word continue to arrange text on prior and succeeding pages?

No. Unfortunately, Word doesn't support this scenario. You can, with a bit
of fiddling, get Word to put a picture on a page by itself. But text can't
"flow" around this. Text added ahead will add pages before the picture;
deleting text will pull the picture page "up".

Hi Cindy

I don't understand why you say word doesnt support this.

Maybe there's a misunderstanding? Jay wasnt asking about text flowing
around the object.

I just created a three page doc with a single graphic on page 2.

Put text on page 1 then inserted a page break, made a few empty paragraphs
on page 2 then inserted a single graphic on page 2 between the paragraphs
(the preferred position of the object can be tweaked of course). I then
inserted another page break and continued inputting text on page 3 etc.

Simple!

Happy Holidays!

I am not sure how you can be so sure what the OP meant.

Like Cindy, to me, having the text arrange itself of prior and succeding
pages, means having the text flow past the picture.

Yes, I am sure that you can do what you asked. Just create a page with an
empty paragraph. Text, Ctrl+Enter, Enter,Enter, Ctrl+Enter, Text. Then place
your cursor beforfe the second empty paragraph and insert your picture. It
does not seem to matter if its Format-Layout is In Line or Square. Make sure
that your anchor is attached to an empty paragraph on your picture page.
Give it a try and see if this is the solution you are looking for.

If the picture is inline, you need only one paragraph on the picture page.
If it's wrapped, still need only one paragraph for it to be anchored to;
hence Ctrl+Enter, Enter, Ctrl+Enter will suffice.
