Would you not achieve your aims by setting each section to begin on a new page and squash the content only enough to make the largest section fit on a page. Then make the PDF and crop the pages to remove whitespace. You will end up with a variable height for every page in the PDF but it would be viewable as a continuous flow without your described issues.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure I quite follow it, though that probably has to do with the fact that I'm competent in Word rather than anything approaching a wizard. I take it your 'sections' are my 'entries', rather than sections in the Word sense. But what do you mean by 'squashing' the content, and does this refer to the longest 'entry' (nearly five pages) or the whole thing?



To prepare to test this I've made a version consisting only of two shorter entries and (in the middle) the very long one, but would need your clarification of what it is you have in mind before I can give it a go.
