I am up to my 8 page maximum in the newsletter template and i need to
add another page. How do i do this and continue with the formatting
and page numbering?

Thanks--

Which newsletter template? One of the default newsletter templates that you
access from the Project Gallery? One that was provided by a company you
work for? How do you know there's an 8 page maximum?

If you give us more details, I'm sure we can figure it out. When you post
back, please also state your OS and Word version numbers, including update
levels.

Hi-Thanks for your response

Yes, it is a newsletter template from the Project Gallery ('simple')
and it states an 8 page max.--my newsletter is growing and I don't want
to do it over!

I am using OSX and Word X for Mac.

I will keep my fingers crossed someone can help.

Some thoughts born of deep ignorance of newsletter templates....

I'm pretty sure you can't get Word to generate another page.

You could add another page manually, but then you would have to duplicate
the formatting/layout yourself. Copy and Paste might or might not work.

I think probably what is most worth your time would be to continue the
newsletter in a new/second document based on the same template, finish the
newsletter off, then futz about with ways to combine them. Make copies of
both before you start messing with them.

Some options:

Use Insert | File to insert the second newsletter into the first and see if
Word fixes the page numbering automatically. (if Word doesn't fix the
numbers, but Insert File works fine otherwise, we might be able to help)

OR

In the second newsletter, View | Header/Footer and use Format Page Number (#
with hand) to start at 9. If you are printing, no problem. If you mean to
send them electronically, I would send them as PDFs rather than Word
documents anyhow, and after PDFing both, would google for a freeware utility
Combine PDFs to paste them together, assuming you don't have other PDF
creation software.

Oooh Daiya, that's too complicated!

The Newsletter Wizard (which you are using) simply adds pages to the end.
When you reach its maximum you can copy any of the pages in the style you
like and paste it at the end or in between pages to add more pages.

Simply put:
1) Switch to Page Layout view
2) Using the mouse, select from the Top-left corner of the page to the
bottom-right corner of the page (don't worry if the actual elements on the
page don't seem to highlight..)
3) Copy
4) Choose "Edit | Go To"
5) Enter the page number you want to insert the new page before and click
Go To
6) Paste

Thanks Matt! Since I rarely do anything graphic, I didn't think all those
layout elements would copy and paste so easily. Good to know!
