General ⇒ a box around text on multiple pages

[bjorn victor]

Hi,

Can someone suggest a solution to this problem:
I want to draw a box around a piece of text that starts on one page and goes on o the second page. However, the text itself is not long enough to fit 2 pages, so using framebox, etc. results in a float on the next page.

To give you an idea:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{report} 
\begin{document} 
text

\vspace{15cm}

text\\

%I want to put the following text in a box
more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, more text, 

\end{document}

Has anyone ever done something like this?

Many thanks!!
