MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / June 2004Help Please - Doc problems
Hello, This pertains to a document from Word being sent to me via FILE, SEND TO. In this case I received 5 documents (this is the manner in which they were prepared) rather than one document with 5 pages. I can read them and they all are fine as single documents. However, when I attempt to place them on several pages (copy and paste) the formatting changes and pages are added to the five (making them fit), columns are lost, graphics change size and the like. What is happening here, and how can I make it all work since they have to be emailed to me so that I can place them on a Web Site. Thank you, T Ask the person who prepared the documents to send them to you in a single file; that puts the onus on him to make the formatting work. -- Suzanne S.

As Charles says, even if you do everything right wrt section breaks, more is still required if you want to preserve *all* formatting. -- Suzanne S.

I do not wish to put the onus on the originator for certain reasons, but thanks for the idea.
