problem with publisher

A

I work in an estate agents office and we publish our own property list using
microsoft publisher, which is about 6 x A4 pages of detail which has a
thumbnail picture of a property with a breif description of text. There can
be 50 properties on this list and they are all in price order. When a new
property comes on for sale ie: £100,000 I may have to insert it between a
property priced at £95,000 & one priced at £105,000. To insert this what I
currently have to do is move every single property down approx 5 spaces to be
able to insert the new details, moving 49 property details down can take
forever to do so what I need to know is how can I move down the 49 properties
down idealy by pressing the return key like you can do in microsoft word so
that it moves everything down with each press of the return key? Thanks.

Andy,

As primarily an Excel developer, (BIG apologies to all the Publisher experts
out there!) I'm probably way off beam here, but if you created your property
list in the form of a two column table, with one column containing the
picture and one containing the text, couldn't you just insert a new row into
the appropriate place in the table and insert the details of the new property
there?
Or is the problem that you don't want the details for a property to split
over to the next page? What version of Publisher do you have?

Regards & have a good weekend

Publisher tables don't flow across pages; if they did, your suggestion would
be a good idea.

Ed,

That's why I'm an Excel developer! :)
I must have been confusing them with Word tables.
I'll go and insert a column or something...

Word tables do flow, vertically at least.
