Disappearing text
Thank you for the suggestion however that has nothing to do with the text disappearing. It appears to be triggered by what I type although I have yet to identify a pattern.
I join Doug in urging you to use the paragraph formatting of page break before, preferably as part of a heading style. See Moving/Reorganizing Pages in Microsoft Word.
That said, you may be running into other paragraph formatting, in particular, keep with next formatting.
Can you post a link to a small sample document that has the problem?
Unfortunately I can't post the link as the problem is intermittent. The latest occurrence was as follows:-
I had started a new paragraph. I had typed the following text -
I found this particularly sad. The parallels between his condi
When I typed the t to finish the word 'condition' the document jumped to the bottom of the previous page and the text from the bottom of that page to the typing point had disappeared. The nearest page break was two pages prior to point this occurred. If I use UNDO the text reappears but will repeat if I type the t again. If I use REDO the text reappears and I can type the t and complete the word.
- Has anybody had any thoughts following my detailed description of the fault?
This almost certainly has to do with the paragraph formatting of the text. Look at the second page of the formatting dialog and try unchecking all of the items. This is drastic. It must be done for all of the text involved.
These options are useful.
Such formatting is best controlled using styles, not as direct formatting.
