Word 2K Keeps Repaginating and Flickering 2

[MeGustaXL]

How can I make it stop?

The document is 36 pages long, has a TOC and Lists of Tables and Figures, and numerous manual Page and Section Breaks.

Two pages are Landscape and the rest are Portrait.

One cause of constant repagination is layout problems in footers. If you have a Table in a Footer along with a page number in a Frame (as you get from Insert > Page Numbers) they can sometimes clash and Word can't quite decide whether they fit side by side or have to go one above the other leading to constant change in footer height, and thus page depth and what fits on the page. If you do have this, try changing the table width.

Hi Tony, thanks for the rapid response

That sounds likely, because the Landscape pages have 'Portrait' headers and footers created by embedded Text boxes rotated 90 deg clockwise - could those be the cause?

If so, is there a cure?

Yes - conflicts between objects of any type in the text layer and those in the drawing layer can cause this.

The only 'cure' is to move, or resize, the conflicting objects - or otherwise redo the footer layout. Maybe just making the footer a tad wider would be sufficient; each case is unique and needs a bit of trial and error.

Enjoy,
Tony

A Silver Bullet, more like! I dragged the sides of the Lanscape pages' Footer TextBox out to the edge of the page, and it hasn't RePaginated once in the last half hour!

Tony, URA STAR!
