If you insert a manual page break, you (a) split the table (which prevents
any heading rows from repeating) and (b) inserts an empty paragraph above
the table on the second page. To avoid both results, instead select the row
you want to be at the top of the second page and format it as "Page break
before" (Line and Page Breaks tab of Format | Paragraph). Unless you're
absolutely positive you always want a page break just there, it's better to
keep rows together using "Keep with next" formatting. See

...
i have been making a procedures manual and I have noticed that when i put
in
a hard page break (because i don't want a table to split acorss a page) a
little black box stays on the previous page and it interferes with the
location of the first line of text on the new page. I am getting uneven
tops
of pages depending on whether there is a page break on the page before.
It
is slight but it is annoying.
Can anyone help?
