Locking a figure to its own page; allowing type to move between surrounding pages
Hello!
I am using Microsoft Word 2000 on Windows NT. For my dissertation, I need the figure to be on its own page. Let's say I have three pages: page 1 is text, page 2 has a figure, and page 3 is text. I would like the text to be able to flow around the figure page, so that if I delete one paragraph on page 1, the text from the top of page 3 will move to the bottom of page 1 to fill the space. The figure will always stay on page 2, alone. I am having real issues trying to format the figure so that this will happen. And, if I use a section or page break, the text from page 3 won't move up to fill deleted space in page 1. Thank you in advance for any help, suggestions, etc. C. |

To allow any bodytext to flow "around" a picture, that picture needs to be floating above the text area (anything besides "inline with text"). Now, such a picture cannot be all alone on a page, it needs to be anchored to a paragraph and that paragraph must reside on the very same page. But, if there's a paragraph on this page, you can't reflow your text from the preceding page to the following, since you have a paragraph in between(*).

I tested for a minute in Word 2003 and found nothing helping the situation, but I might just not have digged down enough ...
