Expanding textbox in word
Is there a way to put a text box in the middle of a Microsoft word document that expands as you type more information in it? Basically as I type more paragraphs in the text box it will push whatever paragraphs below the text box further down the page. Hope that makes sense. Thank you.

When I use that it expands only to the rest of the current page and does not go any further. Is there anything I am doing wrong?
You need to:
- create another blank textbox on the next page
- click back inside the first textbox
- click Format on the menu
- click Create Link under Text
- click in the second text box, and the overflow will now flow into it.
- repeat with another text box, if necessary.

Another option would be to use a single cell table. The table can be aligned differently to the surrounding text and can be formatted in whatever fashion you want and will flow over multiple pages.
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
