MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / April 2004Continuous Sec Break
I am using Word 2000 I have a document with a large header that extends almost to each side of the paper. For the text following the header I want to have the normal margins of 1" on each side. I put in a Section Break for Continuous but it acts like a page break and will not allow me to add text right underneith the break line. It pushes everthing to the next page. What am I doing wrong? Aurora I recreated what you described and it worked for me. I put the continuous break at the end of the heading. Once I was underneath the heading, I went to page layout, apply to this section and set the margins like you described. sandy >-----Original Message----- >I am using Word 2000 [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >Aurora >. Thank you for answering my question. What you suggested is what I thought I tried to do, but it did not work. I will try again today. Aurora >-----Original Message----- >I recreated what you described and it worked for me. I put [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> >. If this is a header - what's the section break for? Put the header in the header view and if it is only to appear on the first page, setup a different first page header in the page setup dialog. There doesn't seem to be a need for a section break.

I want the text to have a margin of 1" on sides. That is why I need the section break to change the margins. Aurora >-----Original Message----- >If this is a header - what's the section break for?

Set negative left and right indents for the header paragraph ie -5" or use a borderless frame that overlaps the margins to contain the header information.

That should read -.5" Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><< Thank you for answering. I again tried what you said, but it still did not work. In fact I copied the header on to a new page. Was able to add a continuous page break and re-set my margins the way I wanted them. Then I went back to the original document and copied the first page of text and it went right on the 1st page when it belonged. Then I went back to the original document and copied the balance of the text, added it to my new copy and all of the text (including the first page of text) fell to the second page. So I deleted the 2nd portion of the text that I copied and everything else went back up to the first page like it should have been. So I then decided to type out the additional text. When I got down to the bottom of the 1st page, again everything but the header fell down to the second page. Does this give you any ideas? I hate using what someone else has developed (the header), but I have to. In the beginning, I re-created the header and had no problem with the text but was told I had to use the original header. >-----Original Message----- >I recreated what you described and it worked for me.

Don't change the page margins (which are meant to be a page property); just give the header paragraph(s) a negative left and right indent. -- Suzanne S.

I do not understand exactly what you are saying. I do not understand "negative indents". Can you explain this a little bit more? Aurora >-----Original Message----- >This is not the way to accomplish what you want. Don't change the page [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >. A negative indent is an indent with a setting of less than 0 eg -.5" Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> > Thank you for answering my question. > I do not understand exactly what you are saying.
