moving text

[Blindy]

I have a section of a book I'm writing in Publsher 2007 that started on page
15, and somehow continues on page 36. This probably happened as I tried to
cut some of the material out of page 15 and copy it to page 36.

The problem I'm having is that if I try to cut the material left on page 15
and paste it on page 36, a continuation of what followed page 15 fills in, in
the space on page 15 that I had cut. There is no overflow icon on the bottom
of page 15, but somehow the whole story follows from there. If I disconnect
the subsequent pages from page 15, I then get an overflow icon on the bottom
of page 15.

Meanwhile, if I try to paste the material on page 15 to the section on page
36 that it is supposed to be connected to, I get a series of blank pages that
go to page 52.


Somehow I moved the continuation of what was on page 15 to page 36 and I
want both to start on page 36, but I have no idea how to do this without the
above happening. I'm about to give up on Publisher as simple things are
becoming impossible to do.

No, I'm simply cutting the text on page 15 by highlighting the text I want
tocut and pressing control X. The same thing happens if I cut from the edit
menu. As soon as I do, text from subsequent pages backfills the area I cut.
If I try to unlink the subsequent text, blank pages appear later in the story
that take the place of needed material, so I can't go there.

I had moved page 16 to 36 by dragging the page numbers on the bottom page
bar (as I need to move pages to edit this book). I now notice that page 15 is
linked to page 36. If I break the link, again, blank pages appear around page
52 that eat up necessary pages. I am completely lost using this program.

Oringinally, I had a satiric list of terms for the book on pages 15 and 16.
However, I had to move that list to page 36 because that's where this
material should go in this book. The problem is that page 15 also had
material on it I wanted to keep on page 15. So I moved page 16 to page 36,
thinking I could cut the appropriate section from page 15 and paste it at the
beginning of page 36.

Unfortunately, everything screwed up at that point. When I cut the material
I needed on page 15 so I could paste it at the beginning of page 36 , the
original following material backfilled the place where I cut. Further, page
15 now linked to page 36, which I didn't want. When I broke the link,
Publisher set up a whole bunch of blank pages on page 52 that wiped out the
material I had there. At this point, I'm competely lost.
