From: FA on 25 Jun 2008 05:23 Hi, I'm looking for a "new page" event, which insert a text box whenever user add a new page. Is that possible? Thanks, Faruk

Moreover, if you insert text into the middle of a document, text will be pushed down onto subsequent pages, creating a new page somewhere completely different from where you are typing. What are you trying to achieve? -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup
From: FA on 25 Jun 2008 06:24 Thanks for reply. I'm preparing a report template. My target is to have a vertical text box in every single page for comments, headlines etc. (like two columns document). I've tried followings: 1- Inserting a text box by using heading/footers: does not help because the content of text boxes will be different in each page. 2-Create two columns: doesn't help because columns should be independent each other. 3-Insert table with two column: risky, because user may wirte outside of the table. So finally I thought to write a code. When user press return at the end of the document the new page will be created, and this will trigger a macro to insert a text box at the left of the page? It would be much more easier if Word has a feature similar to "Master Slide" or "Slide Template" like PowerPoint.

Well, it seems that the third option is the best available, and if you want this feature, then you have to train your users how to use the feature. > > So finally I thought to write a code.

As I said, can't be done, as there is no event that would serve. Also, realise that Word (unlike Powerpoint and various page design programs) doesn't really think in terms of pages. Instead, it thinks of the text as being on a continuous scroll, and where the page breaks come is decided on the basis of continuously-updated calculations. > > It would be much more easier if Word has a feature similar to "Master > Slide" > or "Slide Template" like PowerPoint. > Well, of course ou could write your report template in PowerPoint, but I suspect that it would end up lacking rather more features that you need. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup
