To fix this, delete any blank paragraphs (¶) before the paragraph that
is set to "Page break before." Also, make sure that you didn't
inadvertently format multiple successive paragraphs with "Page break
before," which would create the same problem. The task will be easier if
you display nonprinting marks, which can be done by pressing
Ctrl+Shift+8 (acts as a toggle).

You can format each paragraph that should always start on a new page
with "Page break before" formatting:

1. Place the insertion point in the paragraph.
2. On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher,
and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab.
3. Select the "Page break before" check box.


Thanks for that info - unfortunately what that seems to do is to
insert a
whole blank page between the text I'm entering in the page above, and
the
paragraph that I have formatted to your instructions....
