Flowing text around a whole page graphic

[Mark]

Greetings All!

I have doucments of 40 pages plus and want a whole page
graphic with text flowing around the whole page. I could put
the text in frames, but this loses some functionality.

I have tried all the options in the image mmenu without
success. Word always wants to have a single line of text on
the same page as the image.

Please advise a way to flow text around a whole page,
without having to put the text before and after the page in
a frame.

All replies much appreciated.

Thank you.

Marko

Hi Mark,

All graphic objects with textflow formatting are anchored to a
paragraph in the text. Therefore, it is essential that at
least one paragraph mark be on the same page as a graphic
object.

Due to this, what you want to have happen can't be done. Word
does not support "tacking" a full-page graphic to a particular
page and having text flow around it on other pages.

Word was conceived over 15 years ago as a word processor, and
bases on flowing text. Other software concentrated on
layouting (Adobe PageMaker, Quark Express) and were unuseable
for editing text. Over time, these boundaries have gotten
vaguer, but Word still isn't a page-layouting program.
