Hi,
I am working with 10 (soon to be 14 and later on 18) word.docs that are
about 25 pages each. These are kinda / sorta annual statement type
reports. Each year, certain paragraphs change substantially, are
deleted entirely (no longer applies), or new paragraphs / sentences are
inserted.
Example: say at the top of page 12, I want to delete an entire
paragraph, or a piece of it. Word automatically shifts upward
everything after what was deleted, disrupting the layout and indivdual
page headers and footers. Since these word.docs are not final, I want
the space that was occupied with what was just deleted to remain - it
may be used for a replacement paragraph or sentence later, or it will
remain blank, which is OK. I want everything that was after the area
of deletion to stay where it was originally.
These word.docs are mega-important, and ASAP turnaround is required. I
currently have 10, which will become 14, and later 18. Using the enter
/backspace /delete keys to shift things back to their original
locations, or to restore some aesthetically OK appearance (and
re-working headers / footers) is becoming increasingly time consuming
and burdensome. In short, I want the word.docs to behave as if each
page is a separate compartment - deleting a paragraph in one page will
not affect the text layout & header/footers of any subsequent pages.
If anyone can provide a solution, or anything that can at least
mitigate this problem, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have
researched this issue without success.
PS - I inherited these word.docs from prior users, and re-building from
scratch won't be an option due to time constraints.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
