If you have deleted the manual page break and applied "Page break before" to
just the heading, you should not be getting a blank page. See

I did as you suggested and it added a blank page prior to the heading.
Thus
I got an empty page in the middle of my document. Note that I did not
insert
a page break before the heading. There was just a paragraph return and
then
the heading.
This was suggested in a prior reply.
Here is Suzzane's recommendation:
I assume you're referring to a heading rather than a header. This is a
known
problem when you insert a manual page break; the page break inherits the
formatting of the following paragraph. You can get around this by deleting
the manual page break and formatting the heading as "Page break before."
Do
this on the Line and Page Breaks tab of Format | Paragraph.
The small square indicates that "Page break before," "Keep with next,"
"Keep
lines together," or "Suppress line numbering" has been enabled for that
paragraph. All Headings 1-4 are by default formatted as "Keep with next."

I am assuming you are suggesting the same.

If I do a page break (ctrl enter) following the 1st paragraph (I want
to put
a new heading just following the 1st paragraph and start it on a new
page)
then I press enter before the new heading the format does not go back
to the
subsequent page. However, I now have a extra line just preceding the
heading
on the new page.
If I delete the new paragraph just before the heading the heading loses
all
its formatting. It just shows as normal text.
If you want a particular heading level to always start on a new page,
modify the heading style with the Page Break Before option turned on.
