I'm making a document which will have 20 pages. Each page is an A4 sheet which will print out and go in a folder.
So I have 20 pages with identical headings but slightly different information (actually, its information about Venue's we use for training courses...)

The problem I have is when I add new text onto one of the pages, it moves all of the headings etc on the pages that follow down a couple of lines. so everytime one page changes, I have to go through every single page deleting unwanted spaces so the headings are all back in the right place, which is bloody annoying!!

How do I "lock" headings to their places, so when I add new text it won't' affect the page below??

I've tried page break but I think I'm barking up the wrong tree with that one.

If you want the same heading at the top of every page regardless of where it appears in relation to the text then you need to set it as a header.

There's a button on the tool bar or just double click the top of the page and it should move you to the header/footer boxes.

All of the front sheets (which are each page) only take up half a page, which leaves room for additional information. Then I just press enter to go onto the next page, and do the same thing again.

So I don't want anything to move, not just the headers, and I don't think putting a header in will lock everything in place?

I think I get it...

At the moment, when you want to get to a new page, you are pressing enter x number of times till it gets there?


If so, what you want to do, is press CTRL + Enter once and itll insert a new page.

Alternatively, although I'm not too sure how well this would work, when adding to teh end of a page press the INSERT or INS key on your keyboard and it'll overwrite the enters... But be carefull not to overwrite any other text!!

A mixture of both of these will help. Alt and Enter is great as then it dsnt think the space is being used, so no nudging everything along. Headers are good for the same thing on each page. I had this problem doing a ICT report at school nearly ended up with a £100 bill for a broken screen.

In that case, instead of pressing enter repeatedly you should just be inserting a Page Break at the start of the line to want to appear at the top of the next page.

If the text on the previous page then overflows onto the next page it'll move your next heading and everything below it down onto the next page again.

Thanks for this mate, I managed to find someone with more brain cells than me (wasn't difficult ) to work it out Friday afternoon.
