How "divide a page" like in Word Perfect?
Is there a way to divide a page into equal sections that
function as "separate pages" like in Word Perfect? I know that I could create a table that is 2 x 2, but it doesn't automatically expand the table into 4 equal squares like Word Perfect would. Thanks for your help. |

How "divide a page" like in Word Perfect?
There was a detailed discussion of this just a week or so ago, in this or
one of the sibling forums. The general answer was: no there's no way to do it 'the way WP does it', but there are alternative and convenient ways to do the things for which the WP split window is used.

Trying to create 4 copies of similar form
Hi,
I am a teacher - and sometimes I want to create say 6 of the same form - and I want to change font/margins/edit etc. so that I can have 6 of the same thing that fits on one page when I print. In Word ... I can see how much space I have to do one, and then just copy it into the other sections. In Word, it doesn't expand the box for me?

Not sure what you mean by 'expanding the box'; but you can do multiple
content by a) creating a textbox that contains what you want, then copying and aligning it; or b) using a table and duplicating the cell contents; or c) using frames; or d) using your printer's multi-image facility if it has one. wrote in message ...

I take it the height is the major factor? Generally, when you insert a new table, it does expand to fill the space between the margins? Then what you're looking for is how to set an "exact" row height. You'd find this in Table/Table Properties/Row. Just select the entire table, then type in the row height. (You have to work it out yourself, Word won't do this for you.)
