Carriage return after page break
Hi,
I am creating word docs from a web application using document merge fields. Everything works great except: One of the documents is a list of vouchers which print 3 to a page. The number of vouchers is variable, so the doc prints only as many as it needs. I can do this no problem with docs up to 3 vouchers. I automatically insert a page break after every third voucher to try and maintain the spacing from page one. However, Word always inserts a carriage return on the first line of every page after page 1. So while page 1 prints perfectly into the voucher stock paper, the rest of the pages are one line too low. I cannot figure out how to keep this carriage return from appearing. Word XP. Thanks, Chris |

Carriage return after page break
If you're using a table for this, instead of inserting a manual page break,
format the top row of the table as "Page break before." The only way to make this work is to set the merge up as a "label" merge so that the same table will repeat on each page; if you do a "catalog" or "directory" merge using table rows, then all rows will be identical (so you'd get a page break before every row). -- Suzanne S.
