Legal formatting

[Guest]

I am trying to create a document that has a letter as the first page and a
legal document for a second page. How do I accomplish this? Both pages
already exist. I do not need to create them. I tried placing the cursor at
the beginning of the legal document and pressing "ctrl+enter", but the legal
formatting was added to the now first page. How do I get rid of the
formatting? I tried going to the header of the newly created page and
deleting the formatting. When I did that, the formatting disappeared from the
now second page. What do I need to do to accomplish this also? The end result
is to be one document with 2 pages, one letter and one legal.
Thank you,
MoJR

Simplest method is to output the two documents separately to PDF, then use
Acrobat to combine them.

With all due respect. It must be possible to accomplish this in Word. I just
don't know how.

CTRL-ENTER was your fatal error. It almost always is.

Display hidden characters (click ¶) and delete whatever marker you have
between pages.

Then Insert->Break->Next Page where you want the page break. That inserts a
section break. You can then move from section to section setting page
layouts.

CTRL-Enter simply inserts a page break, not a section break. There's nothing
to distinguish between the pages as long as they're in the same section.

Thank you Mr. Freeman. I will try this immediately. I knew there had to be a
better answer than using Acrobat1
Thank You,

Why must it? Two documents that have different formatting are never going to
sit easily together in the same document - as you will quickly find out if
the documents were created from different templates and share any of the
same style names. If they are printed documents the simplest answer is to
print both and put them in the same envelope! Acrobat merely provides a way
of including disparate documents in the same file.

Dan,
Thank you for your suggestion. In the end, you were right. However, I did
more research before I solved this problem. I used information by John
McGhie, MVP and Charles Kenyon, a defense lawyer. I also found quite a bit of
info available on legal documents in general.

I accomplished my goal without ACROBAT, thank you very much.

You folks are very gracious for responding on these message boards!!
Thank you,
MoJR
