Instead of inserting a manual page break, format the heading as "Page break
before" on the Line and Page Breaks tab of Format | Paragraph.

I'm using Word 2003, SP3. I shaded the title at the top of the page, and
the
page break at the bottom of the page becomes automatically shaded, too.
If I
delete the shading in the page break, the shading disappears on the title
at
the top of the page. This has been an issue for many years. I'm finally
getting to asking how to resolve it. Thank you. Connie
