Can a word doc have 2 continuous 'stories' across multiple pages?

I have a dilemma, and I don't know if I can describe it accurately enough, here's my best attempt:



I have a document which has a main body text (story A - variable user edited text) and a second body of informational text which needs to be segmented across the pages (story B-static text that won't change). Story B is broken up into chunks which should be at the bottom of each page, and Story A needs to flow around it. When Story A ends, the remaining parts of Story B (if any) need to be flowed at the end of the document, not chopped up into individual segments. The same would be true if Story B ended before Story A, although that is not as likely.

I can't do this by putting Story B into the footer (all pages would have the same content) or by chopping the segments into separate footers (Story A wouldn't flow automatically without having to edit section breaks, and the remaining segments wouldn't be consolidated at the end)

For now, I have broken up Story B into segments placed into a single cell table locked to the bottom of each page, and that allows Story A to flow around it properly. But, it doesn't account for the end of Story A - the remaining segments would still be broken up and appear at the bottom of blank pages. However, this document will be constructed through a set of VBA userforms, so I can combine the remaining segments once the document is finalized. This should do what I need, although if there is a better way for Word to keep story B in a continuous text (segmented where necessary) that would automatically reflow at the end, it would make my job much easier. Especially since I cannot confirm at this time whether or not the user would need to be able to further edit the document after the program is run.

I appreciate any input anyone can give me.

Ugh, it appears I was wrong about the tables doing what I need; they work fine at first glance, but if the text gets edited past a point, it moves the table to the next page (when the anchor in the text where the table was originally created shifts to the next page it's taking the table with it).

So now I'm back to square one. Does anyone have any suggestion to do what I need to do? My only solution might be to move the entire Story B to the end of the document, and move each segment to the front when the document is finalized in the VBA code. Or, in the VBA code, move the anchor for each table to the proper place on it's page.
