Question about pages

[Alain+Ivy]

Is it possible to restrict the number of pages in which a user can write on
it. I would like to limit to 1 page or 2 the lenght of a document and in
this case I do not want use the fields technic and protect the form.
In other words the regular text must stop at the end of the page 1 or 2....
Word must not create more pages.
Any advise is welcome

There is no good way to do this. You could put together a macro that would
truncate the document after two pages when you attempt a save but nothing
that would keep someone from actually entering more text. If you did that
you would get some very angry people, I expect. Why not just put an express
limitation on length in the instructions for your document?

How about a table cell of fixed dimensions containing a form field? Not
perfect, but close to what is required?
