Thanks for the info Nicki. I hadn't thought about carriage returns - may explain my problem. Yep, you were right, I made seperate pages, as each page is unique. I am doing an exhibition for stamps, each page uses a very basic template, but content is very different. There is a load of grahic content and not a great deal of text, so to keep the file sizes small, I made each page seperate. I dont need to link them, but it would be nice to see the pages in context, 4 x 4, i.e. 16 A4 to a frame. Also , I would prefer to be able to re-arrange if need be. best regards / Mark
