Can Apple Pages be without Page Breaks?

Is it possible to create a Pages document without page breaks, and just insert a line between the information I want to separate?

A Pages word processing document automatically flows text from one page to the next as you type, and without any need for you to manually insert page breaks. You can use new paragraphs to create a blank line separator or insert a horizontal line shape that floats on the page where you place it when the Arrange panel's Object Placement is Move with Text, and Text Wrap is Automatic.



As you move this line shape up or down, the text above and below flows to accommodate that placement.

You can place the entire document on a single 'Page' by defining a custom size sheet of paper that is, say, 999 inches high by 8 1/2 inches wide. Printing the document might raise some issues, though.


I don't think I've tried this with Pages, but I do remember having done it successfully with AppleWorks when that was stilla thing.


The document was intended to be read on the computer, and not to be printed to paper.
