Hi, Cindy,
I bribe--I mean, pay--my kids to help fix books, before I submit them
(smile). I edit in K1000, but of course, they use Word. Other volunteers on
the list have pointed out that unless you set Paper Size to a large number,
Word will put page breaks where they don't belong. To me that seems easier,
since you only have to change one setting one time.
When we change Paper Size, however, Word asks if we want to fix the
margins. Since, as you mentioned, the goal is not to print anything, I'm
wondering if the answer should be No. I'm just not sure how answering No to
this prompt affects the finished product.
Thanks,
Paula
