Writer Pages like Spreadsheet Cells

edit

I am not sure I understand your intent.

If it is only a matter of display, see @AdmFubar's answer.

If you want to use Writer like a spreadsheet with mega-cells, this is impossible because pages do not exist until they are needed. The component which manages pages is Impress where pages are called "slides". Impress has not the same purpose as Writer and formatting is less flexible, but this could be a lead.

Structuring in Writer can be done several ways:

• create page boundaries with Ctrl+Enter

  This is the most basic method without much support from Writer.

• create chapters with Heading 1 paragraphs (and others of the Heading n family)

  A page break may be configured in Heading 1 paragraph style so that the page break is automatic. The chapter titles will appear in the Navigator (F5) and you can quickly scroll to them with a double-click on the title in the Navigator list.

  With Heading n, n>1, you can further structure your ideas within the chapter.

• use sections

  Sections are also targets in the Navigator. However they can't have an automatic page break. IMHO, this does not fit your need. Sections are mainly intended to locally change the number of columns in the page.

• insert a table allowed to break across pages

  This keeps the concept of cells but you can't synchronise cells with pages.
