I've got a problem I'm trying to solve -- I want to script
reformatting of a document printed 8x14 landscape, meant to be
folded in thirds, to a web page. The secretary who creates
this document likes to use text boxes, because of the fine
control they give her over the positioning of the six "pages".
It's printed as a two page document (or one page front and
back) in this order of sub pages:
page1: 2 3 4
page2: 5 6 1(cover)
I want to be able to reformat these documents from "printed
folded handout" to "web page", preferrably without asking the
secretary to do anything significantly different from what
she's doing now.
Is there any way in Word to select everything in an area,
including all text blocks and graphics, and move it elsewhere
as a group? I fiddled around with this for quite a while, and
never could get it to do that. It apparantly only allows
text and graphics blocks to be selected individually. This
isn't good when some of the document is overlapping or nested
text blocks.
And, of course, I really want to make this a one-step script,
or at least macro-ize it, but when recording a macro, Word 2003
wouldn't let me do a cut operation on a text block at all.
Any ideas?
