Default Merging two Word files with one file having a text box

Hello,

I used a resume template in Office to create a resume for my wife and needed a page two. Page one was created with text boxes so I created a separate file for page two thinking I will just merge it later.



Try as I may I can't figure out how to do this. Is it possible? I would be happy to send it to you and frankly pay you for your time to fix it as we really like the format on page one. Page two does not have any text boxes.

Thanks for any help and input.........

Tim

Hi Tim,

In the original document, simply go to the end, press Ctrl-Enter to insert a page break, then copy & paste your 'page 2' material into the new page.

Hi Paul and thank you very much for your reply. For some reason I can't get my cursor outside the text box and at the end of my document to insert a page break. On the ribbon bar the option for insert page break is grayed out.

I have even tried shortening the text box and moving it up the page to leave more room for a page break to no avail.

Tim

Hi Tim,

Are these ordinary text boxes, or textbox formfields? If it's the latter, you won't be able to select anything outside the textboxes - you'll need to remove the forms protection before you can do so.
