Lock page

R

Rob

I am writing a rather long document. I would like to be able to have the
contents on a page locked in place, once I have finished with that page.
Obviously if I try and edit a page before all my page alignments go out of
wack.

I understand that I will need space for the characters of my edit, but I
don't want to disturb the existing page layouts

Any help would be welcomed.

Rob.

Word doesn't work that way. In fact, Word doesn't really have much of a
concept of an "existing page layout." See this page for why not:
http://daiya.mvps.org/wordpages.htm

However, if you explain what type of contents you want to lock, and describe
the doc a little, there might be alternative ways to get at what you need.
I'm having a very hard time picturing the situation you seem to be in, and
you seem to be wanting to lock a page, and *then* edit it, which doesn't
make sense to me....

Try formatting the paragraph on the following page as "page break before."
This is a part of paragraph formatting and is usually applied to top level
heading styles. This won't necessarily keep things at the same spot on a
page, but it will give you page breaks where you expect them. Obviously, if
you overfill a page, it will spill over onto a new one, followed by the
automatic page break.
