After a page break the heading format runs into the previous page
After inserting a page break, if the new page starts with a heading line then
the heading format runs into the previous page last line. This is especially problematic when the heading format includes shading because the last line of the previous page becomes completely shaded. If I try to remove the heading format from the previous page, then the heading line of the new page disappears! This also happens with columns: the heading of a new column line runs into the old one when using the column break. |

Also, the "page break before" solution does not work when working with
columns. Any idea about how to do it with columns?

After a page break the heading format runs into the previous p
I think that the following could be what causes the problems:
A. If you pressed Ctrl+Return instead of Return at the end of the "previous page last line", you did not create a new paragraph - the "heading" and your "last line" still make up one paragraph and will thus always have the same paragraph style. B. If you positioned the insertion marker in the start of the heading and pressed Ctrl+Return to insert a page break, the page break will also be applied the heading style. If A and/or B above is correct, you should instead do as follows: A. Always press Return (not Ctrl+Return) to start a new paragraph. B. Do not create page breaks using Ctrl+Return. Instead, click in the paragraph that is to start on a new page. Then select Format Paragraph Line and Page Breaks tab and turn on "Page break before" (then the page break will be an attribute of the paragraph and it will work correctly). However, according to you second post, you may already use this method. I recommend that you turn on nonprinting characters (formatting marks) so that you can see exactly what you have in your document (press Ctrl+Shift+8 or click the ¶ icon on the Standard toolbar). A paragraph mark looks like this: ¶. A manual line break looks like a bent arrow. For further details about formatting marks, see this article: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm About columns: If you want the text to start on a new page, use the "Page break before"-method described above. If you want the text to start in the next column, use Insert Break Column break. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "jotego" wrote: Also, the "page break before" solution does not work when working with columns.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I always thought that starting a page meant starting a paragraph but I see I was wrong. Creating a new column with the "insert break - column" method does not start a paragraph either so it looks like the only way to have a heading starting a column is to manually press Return as many times as needed. It is odd this has to be done manually though. "Lene Fredborg" wrote: I think that the following could be what causes the problems: A.

NO, you just need a hard return before you insert the column break or the
page break. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "jotego" wrote in message ...

I tried pressing Return and Shift+Return and it did not work. What do you
mean by "hard return" and how can it be done? Thank you! "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: NO, you just need a hard return before you insert the column break or the page break. -- Hope this helps.
