Why don't you

1. Cut and paste to make your doc one big text block before inserting new
text

OR

2. Use the "Insert Pages" feature so that your old text won't be
disturbed



We use PageMaker all the time. It's a good tool. If you are unfamiliar
with using it, you might run through the tutorials or buy a book. My employer
sent us to a Bill Parsons Advanced PageMaker seminar. We received the book
_Graphic Designn with PageMaker for Windows 5.0_ by Bill Parsons.
