Formatting speeches in MS Word When you're putting
together the final draft of a speech, keep two things in mind: make sure no paragraph breaks across two pages; and number the pages, starting on the speech's first page (not on the cover page).
To keep paragraphs from breaking over pages, here's what you do in Microsoft Word 6.0: 1) Press the "Control" key and the "A" key. The whole screen should be highlighted.
2) Go to the "Format" menu and scroll down to "Paragraph." 3) Behind the "Indent and Spacing" options, you'll see a tab for the "Text Flow" options. Click on this.
4) Click on "Keep Lines Together." To get the page numbering right, here's what you do: 1) Do the cover page first. At the end of the cover page, go to the "Insert" menu and choose
"Break." 2) Click on the "Next Page" option in "Section Breaks." 3) On the first page of the speech itself, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Page Numbers."
4) Scoot over to "Options." 5) Click on the "Start At" option. 6) The one hitch now is that your cover page will be numbered, too. This is easy to fix. Go back up to the cover page and repeat
Step 3. Unclick the option that says "Show Number on First Page."
