How to fix text position in word 2016? Adding new text in word results in pushing down the content of everything below as one expects. This creates usually problems with the formatting.

What I would like is to have fixed sections that are not affected by changes above.

Here is the problem.

Chapter 1

Bla bla

____________________________________________________end of previous 10 ____________________________________________________new page 11

Chapter 2

Oops I forgot to add something Here is the problem.

Chapter 1

Bla bla

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

___________________________________________________end of previouspage 10 ____________________________________________________new page 11

(shifted position of chapter all the stuff below and chapter 2 because of the added text )

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

Chapter 2 (shifted formatting)

**Ideal would be

Chapter 1

Bla bla

|new stuff added

____________________________________________________end of previous 10 ____________________________________________________beginning of page 11 automatically creates new page not to mess the content below

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

|new stuff added

____________________________________________________end of page 11

____________________________________________________page 12

Chapter 2 fixed position at top of page**

  • So you basically want each chapter to start with a page break?

Instead of going to the next page by pressing Enter multiple times, the better approach is to use page break to avoid what you described in your question. When you're done writing a page and want to start a next page, press Ctrl+Enter . Now if you edit your previous pages, it would not mess up!
