Automatically create a 20 blank page document

[Walter]

Is there a way to create a multi-paged document in Word without having to
manually insert break/page on every page.

I just want to be able to enter the number of pages I want, hit enter, and
voila I have a document with all my new pages ready to go.

Thanks.

Why do you want 20 blank pages before you start a new page?

I suppose you could type the letter "a" twenty times, then use
Find/Replace to replace each instance of the letter "a" with a Page
Break...but I have to say that I'm hard-pressed to think of any good
reason to do such a thing.

(And I say that as somebody who has used Word to author a couple of 250+
page books so I know a little bit about creating large documents)

Why doesn't he just take 20 pieces of paper out of the package?

Like JoAnn, I see no point to this exercise. If you want blank pages then
grab a handful of paper. There is no need for them in a document.
Nor is there any practical need to create an empty multi-page document
before you attempt to fill it with text. Word is not a typewriter and will
automatically create new pages as they fill. Inserting page breaks is rarely
necessary nor desirable.

You could create a macro.

okay....

Whether there is or is not a reason that makes sense to you for his question is so far beside the point as to make your responses ludicrous (not to say obnoxious).

Here's the (still-unwieldy) way I did it: In word 2007, click the tab for "insert." There's a little button for "blank page." Click it 20 times.





And oh yeah, just as a bonus, one reason: you're mocking up a cover for a book project on lulu and you need a file as large as your putative book.
