Hello,

I have a text box on page 2 of my document. Right now, the document has
only two pages. When I press "enter", nothing happens, I don't see a third
page being created.

Is there a way to resolve this?

Thanks!

Check the layout for the text box (Format > Text Box) - you probably have
the text box in front or behind the text, when you want text wrapping?

Are you sure you are at the bottom of the page?

Are you pressing enter within the text box? A text box cannot be more than 1
page.

Why are you trying to insert a new page anyhow? Just keep typing and let
Word take care of the pagination. If you need something to start at the top
of a page, use Format | Paragraph to format it with "page break before."

Hi Cyber Taz,
This does not work for me as Break is diable under my Insert menu, and
Control/Enter does not give me a new page. You also cannot insert a page
break within a text box, so that is ruled out.
How do i insert the next page to start a new typing or a new text box for
more information?

Nor was it intended to... how far back in time did you go to dig up this
reply to a post on a completely different matter?

I have posted a reply to your other post on the subject.

Why are you using text boxes? Type on the page itself. Objects (like text
boxes) cannot span pages.
