I will start the same thread again since it disappeared from the front page too quickly  I believe there is somebody somewhere who knows the answer.
A quote from my previous post:
The thing is I don �t know how to insert
the second page if the first page is ALL covered with text boxes. There
is NOWHERE where to put a pointer! If I put it in the text box, I cannot
insert the next page. If I put it in the Footer, I cannot insert the
next page either... How do you do it?

Hi, Baiba. Well, I don �t know if I know the answer to your question, but I always press ENTER a lot of times so the file creates more pages before I add text boxes, otherwise, sometimes, it seems that you simply cannot click to find the pointer. But I don �t know why that is.
If you start by adding lines (and therefore, pages) to the file, you can always click under the textboxes you created.
That �s how I do it.
Hope to have helped (at least a little)
; )
Hugs, Bruna

Make 2 or more pages before you begin.
Or you might have to move your text boxes and press enter until you get your 2nd page, then insert your boxes again.
It is a bit messy - but it works!

Hi Mariethe
I always kind of coped with it in a clumsy and primitive way but I was hoping there was some very smart and sophisticated method. Apparently there isn �t.
Anyway, as long as we get as many pages as we need, who cares about the method?

Let me join the club!  I �ve always thought I was ignorant (not that I don �t still think so). When this happened to me once, I opened a new document, inserted a second page and then I copy-pasted my previous document on it. Now, isn �t that primitive?! |

Another way is to open the document with Open Office Writer, if you have it . It lets you move your pointer along the document. Then you add the page, save it and open it again with Word.(I had the same problem as you, too)

I always use the drawing canvas, so I just have to click on its outside margin and press "enter" once.
Then the whole frame moves down to the second page so that I can move (drag & drop) it to the first page again.
After that I just copy and paste the first drawing canvas into the empty second page or I create a new drawing canvas in order to fill the second page with textboxes again.
It �s really easy; simply make sure that you have clicked exactly on the outside margin of the drawing canvas before you press the ENTER button!! |
