![]()
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. |
