how can I insert a full page box

[Peter Davies]

I am trying to insert a full page [text] box (within set
margins)in continuous text, but if I do so one line of the
narrative text remains (with the box anchor) hidden
underneath the foot of the box on the page with the full
box, even if the square and no overlap instructions are
marked under layout. What I really want is an anchor to a
particular page with the text flowing before and after it
as text is modified. I cant find any way to anchor to a
page rather than to a paragraph.
Version Word 2002
Thanks.

There is no way to do what you want. Any object in the drawing layer (and
this includes text boxes) must be anchored to a text paragraph on the same
page.

To Microsoft: How about making it so a full page box can be
in the middle of text and allow the text to flow past it
when altered, with the box remaining on the same page.
Thanks.

This is unlikely to happen in your lifetime. Word is not page layout
software.
