Yes Peter is right. If all you are looking to do is display the two pages then this might be the go.
If you place a field "f1" on a page and set it up the way you want (size, text characteristics etc) and then make two copies, field fa" and field "fb". Then make "f1" invisible. make a button to load the pages like: --intialize script-- global pn global pr on mouseUp set the htmltext of field "f1" to YOUR_STYLED_TEXT_VARIABLE put 1 into pn put the pageranges of field "f1" into pr put line pn of pr into pr1 put line pn+1 of pr into pr2 set the htmltext of field "fa" to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr1) to (item 2 of pr1) of field "f1" set the htmltext of field "fb" to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr2) to (item 2 of pr2) of field "f1" add 2 to pn end mouseUp ---end initialise--- Then a next page button script is simply... ---next page--- global pn global pr on mouseUp put the pageranges of field "f1" into pr put line pn of pr into pr1 put line pn+1 of pr into pr2 set the htmltext of field "fa" to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr1) to (item 2 of pr1) of field "f1" set the htmltext of field "fb" to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr2) to (item 2 of pr2) of field "f1" add 2 to pn end mouseUp ---end next page--- Works a charm. It just depends on what your intention is. If this is only for display or printing (the inspiration for the property) then this is the neatest way to go. But if you want greater user interaction, then maybe not. In my application of this idea I am using the first method I mentioned (group scroll). I want my users to be able to select text over more than one page and to view what may be just overleaf (say at the end of page 2 and the beginning of page 3) without having to jump back and forth.
