Wrapping text

I was forwarded numerous Word documents and was updating all of them and on
the 4th or 5th one I ran in to a clitch, the page is columns and rows and
when I highlight everything and change the font to times new roman and the
text size to 10 it starts a second page, but takes the portion that should go
on the second page and puts it on top of the text at the top of the first
page, I am really at a loss.

I also need to know how to add a row seperate from the rest at the top of a
different page and nothing I do is working.

Are you using tables here? When tables behave unexpectedly, you should try
setting the "Text wrapping" to "None" on the Table tab of the Table
Properties dialog box.

To display the dialog box, right-click the table and choose Table Properties
from the context menu.

Thank you for the sugestion, but it did not change anything, although I did
sit and copy and paste everything in to one of the other files and it works,
but that is the strangest thing, I even saved the file closed it and reopen
it, just to be sure.

Thank you again for trying to help. :-)

Are there any "floating" objects, that is, objects whose text wrapping style
is *not* "In line with text" involved in the document?

Which Word version are you using?

I don't think so and I changed everything on the page to "none" in the "text
wrapping" portion of the table.

I'm using 2003

A possibility is that the file in question is somewhat corrupt, which is
supported by a remark that you made in a previous message ("I did sit and
copy and paste everything in to one of the other files and it works") .

Copying the document contents, except for the final paragraph mark (¶), into
a new, blank document, usually fixes corruption. For more, see
