Re: Mark the end of a page?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

What we are saying - and what I posted to your later message - is that Word
is not a page layout application. The 'pages' shown are an entirely
artificial concept based on the text flow which is governed by a host of
factors including the formatting and the current printer driver. If you then
go adding characters which take space then inevitably this will affect that
text flow .... and you still haven't explained why you think you need to do
this?

Thanks Graham and Suzanne,
Actually, I doubt there would be a problem with reflow in inserting
an end
of page marker. I'm kind of anal, so I've never let a paragraph be
split across pages in my document. Would it be easier conceptually if
I said that, therefore, I need the marker to appear just before the
last hard return on a page? The break needs to be where the page ends
on paper--basically, when you look at Print Layout, 8.5 by 11 paper
(letter size), wherever those pages end.

I'm kind of getting the feeling from your replies that that this isn't
possible. Is that what you're getting at, or are you just saying this
isn't easy?

Thanks,

Jezzica has explained that she needs to save the document in TXT
format, which will cause considerable reflow anyway.

But if you included it in the text layer of the document (otherwise
it wouldn't mark the end of the page) the insertion of the
characters would cause the text on the page to reflow, so that the
markers could easily be in the wrong places. It would be a
nightmare to keep control of. What is the purpose of the exercise?
Why do you need to know where the page ends? It ends where you see
the break on screen or paper?

Hi Graham,
It doesn't necessarily have to be zero width; I just want it to
appear after the last character on the page, so I know when a page
ends. I need to save my file as text for better portability, and I
want to remember what the page structure was so I can display it a
different way. Something simple, like a * or a <>, would be just
fine.

What is the purpose of the 'marker' and what kind of zero width
marker did you have in mind that wouldn't alter the page layout if
inserted?

Hi everybody,
I know that "pages" don't actually exist in Microsoft Word, but I
was wondering, could there be a way to use the margins and layout
settings in a macro to identify the last word on a page (not
counting headers or footers) and then putting a marker after it?
It seems like it should be possible, but I'm not really sure to
begin. Does anyone have any ideas how to write a macro or
manipulate Word settings so this can be done? The only other way
I can think of to do this is to go through the documents
manually and mark each place--and at the moment, I'm talking
about 78 pages over 10 documents.

Thanks,
Jezzica85
