Default Shading Title at top of page

Yes, I've done those cute little buttons. Have a few on my toolbar now. But
not having a button wasn't the annoying part. See my response to Stefan.

I've never found "Page break before" annoying in any way. And it's very easy
to apply if you use the buttons (with faces kindly supplied by Robert Franz)

Yes, I am just trying that now, but you know, Word 2003 is really not
user-friendly when it comes to some of these things. I am finding "page
break before" quite annoying in other ways. I think I am going to just
remove the shading. It's too bad because the document looks nice that way
but grrr-rrrr-rrr, what a pain! Your answer resolves the issue posted.
Thank you.

Instead of a manual page break, use "Page break before" formatting
(Format |
Paragraph, Line and Page Breaks tab) for the relevant paragraph(s).

I can't find my question that I posted yesterday, even with searching my
name. Don't know what happened to it. Anyway, I'm using Word 2003 and
I've
encountered this issue with previous versions, as well. My document is
several pages and sometimes has page breaks. I have a title at the top
of
the page before every page break. I shaded the title black which
extends
from margin to margin. That's fine. But the problem is that it also
shades
the page break black! If I remove the black strip at the bottom of the
page,
the black shading goes from the title at the top of the page. I would
be
deeply greatful to have this resolved because it's been an annoying
feature
for a few years! First time I'm posting a question on it! Thanks.
Connie
