page break causes shaded header style to appear on prev page
Hello,
In this new version of word, if I use a style set that includes shading for a header and then force a page break before a header (e.g., set Paragraph to place a page break before every Heading 1), the shading appears along the page break line on the previous page -- and also prints. Also happens with Next Page section breaks. Suggestions? Solutions? |

page break causes shaded header style to appear on prev page
Delete the manual page break and format the shaded paragraph as "Page break
before" (Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "jkeva410" wrote in message ...

That's certainly functional ... IF you only intend to use the style on the
top of a new page. Otherwise, it neccessitates the creaton of a seperate Heading Style *just* for page breaks. What an annoying bug in the program! The shading issue, BTW, also affects all other kinds of breaks (columns, etc.), and this fix does not work for those situations. |

page break causes shaded header style to appear on prev page
To prevent a paragraph border from being applied to a column break, do the
following: Before the heading (that does have a border) in the column following the break, press Enter to insert a blank paragraph. Then format a paragraph style as font size 1 pt, spacing before/after zero, line spacing exactly 1 pt, and apply it to the blank paragraph. For what it's worth, such paragraph styles can also be useful when the paragraph mark following a table ends up on the page after the table, thus forcing a blank page (for more on blank pages in Word, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Writer@Large" wrote in message ...

page break causes shaded header style to appear on prev page
Our style uses a numbered, shaded Heading 1 and, as noted in this thread,
placing the cursor to the left of the heading text and inserting a manual page break causes the "---------Page Break---------" line before the heading to also be shaded. One solution is to use a Next Page section break instead of a page break. This breaks cleanly without shading the preceeding line, but of course, you have to be mindful that you just started a new section. I also came to the solution that Stephan mentioned. If you insert a paragraph before the heading and then insert the page break the preceeding line will not be shaded, but it inserts a full line of space between the header and the heading, and this is particularly visible given a shaded heading. Defining and applying a 1-point paragraph style with 0 space before and after does make this look OK. Either of these solutions works for me, but unfortunately I am defining templates for use by many field people with widely varying MS Word skill levels. I cannot count on them to insert the 1-point paragraph spacer or properly keep track of section breaks--evenwith commented instructins in the template, most won't get it right. The best solution would be for Microsoft to "fix" this problem so that the page break works like a section break as regards shading the line before the header. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

For page breaks, as opposed to column breaks, using "Page break before"
formatting is the easiest approach. You can add the command to a toolbar (Word 97-2003) or to the QAT (Word 2007). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MattWood" wrote in message ...
