How do you eliminate page breaks so you have one continuous scrolling document?

What do I do when I want to create a document not for printing, but for reading off the screen? I don't want those horizontal lines between the pages, but want it to flow without these.

Hi father_danjones,


I don't know if this will work on an iPad. I am using a Mac.

Create a custom paper size.

Menu > File > Page Setup... > Paper Size


Here is a size called Scroll, created through Manage Custom sizes



That allows continuous scrolling, no page breaks (until you reach 9999 mm!).


Regards,

Ian.

Hi father_danjones,


"Scroll" is a name that I assigned to that Custom Paper Size. I use millimetres and I set the Height to 9999 millimetres (the greatest number that seemed to work for me). I am glad that Height 300 inches is working for you!


I found this for iPhone and I think it will be similar on iPad:

See details under Set a custom paper size.



Happy Paging!

We all have days like that! Thank you. There are still big gaps between pages, but the lines are indeed gone. Sadly for me, I use an iPad for my presentations and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this there.


I have used Microsoft Word for years and years and am trying to go "all Mac, all the time." And save $7.55 a month (which I pay to Microsoft).


Again, thank you for your help. I love picking the brains of experts for free!
