I need some help with producing my thesis with Word 5.1. Replies by email
would be most useful, though I will try to keep an eye on this newsgroup
for a while.

1) I am familiar with using 'positioned' paragraphs in order to insert
figures in the text so that they appear at the top or bottom of the page,
and the text from the previous page wraps onto the next page without a
break. But what if I have a full page figure? As far as I can make out, a
positioned paragraph has to appear on the same page as the paragraph break
where the positioned paragraph sits as seen in 'normal' rather than 'page'
view. Any ideas how I can get round this one? (i.e. I want text on page 6,
a full page figure on page 7, and more text on page 8. When I add
something to page 6, the bottom of page 6 needs to move onto page 8 rather
than page 7.)

2) Alternative strategy: Is there any way of making the page numbers skip
one at a particular point in the document, or even getting all the page
numbers to go up in steps of two? I am *NOT* going to go through the whole
document putting in  manual page breaks!!! There are far too many pages to
make this practical, and anyway, whenever I make a change to the text, it
all needs re-doing. Any ideas?

3) Does anyone know a way of producing A5 folded leaflets in Word - i.e.
with page 1 opposite page 8, 2 opposite 7, and so on? I know there is a
commercial utility that will do this, but it is too expensive. Again,
putting in manual page breaks is not on.

4) Will someone give me a free legal copy of QuarkXpress? 8-)

Thanks.
Ian.
