Page Break gets Heading 1 style saul_margolis[ at ]hotmail.com 24.08.2006 08:18:57 When I insert a page break on a line that is formatted with Heading 1 style, the page break itself becomes Heading 1 style. How do i stop this from happening. It seems like I need to enter another line between the page break and the heading, and then format that as normal. Problem is that there is then a blank space at the top of the page. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Saul

Re: Page Break gets Heading 1 style saul_margolis[ at ]hotmail.com 24.08.2006 08:31:22 Oh yes, what I forgot to mention is that the Heading 1 style has a green background. So the page break shows up as a green strip on the page prior to the heading! saul_margolis[ at ]hotmail.com wrote: [Quoted Text] > When I insert a page break on a line that is formatted with Heading 1 > style, the page break itself becomes Heading 1 style.

Re: Page Break gets Heading 1 style "Shauna Kelly" <ShaunaKelly[ at ]SendNoSpamToShaunaKelly.com> 24.08.2006 08:59:26 Hi Saul You can stop this happening by not using page breaks. Instead, click in the paragraph that you want to be at the top of a new page, and do Format > Paragraph. On the Line and Page Breaks tab, tick the "Page break before" box. If you want every Heading 1 styled paragraph to start on a new page, then, instead of changing eacj individual paragraph through Format > Paragraph, modify the style itself so that the style is set with "page break before".

Re: Page Break gets Heading 1 style saul_margolis[ at ]hotmail.com 24.08.2006 18:36:38 Thanks Shauna, that did the trick! When would one use page breaks and when would one use this tip you've given?

Re: Page Break gets Heading 1 style "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 24.08.2006 18:58:23 It's generally best to avoid manual page breaks entirely except in cases where you *always* want the following text to start a new page (the beginning of a new chapter or section, for example) even if the text (because of editing) reflows such that the text following the break would fit on the previous page. They shouldn't be used as a substitute for "Keep with next" to avoid awkward page breaks because sometimes moving a document full of manual page breaks to a different computer (with a different printer driver) will result in having full pages alternating with pages containing one line of text (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm). And in situations where you *always* want a page break, it is more efficient (and obviously safer) to incorporate "Page break before" in the relevant style. -- Suzanne S.
