Copy paste !
Ok i dont know what this all is for SOmehow we went in another direction here. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: When you insert a page break, you are forcing the text following it to appear on the next page. If that's your intent, there are often better (less irrevocable) ways of doing it. 1. If you are positive you always want the text to start a new page (beginning of a chapter or section, for example), you can insert a manual page break, but often it is better to format the heading that begins the new part as "Page break before" (Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks). The reason for this is that a manual page break takes on the formatting of the following paragraph (the heading), which can cause problems if the heading style includes shading. 2. If you're just trying to keep text together, and there's a possibility that the text will need to reflow when upstream text is edited, it's better to keep it together using the "Keep with next" and (if necessary) "Keep lines together" check boxes in Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks. This will allow the text to flow as a block but will not prevent it from flowing back onto a previous page if there's room for it. Where you can really get into trouble with manual page breaks is when text is reformatted for a different printer. If a page ending in a manual page break is just one line too long to fit within the margins enforced by the printer, then one or two lines may be forced to the next page; because of the manual page break, there will be just the one line (or probably two, thanks to widow/orphan control) on that page; the whole document will alternate (almost) filled pages and two-line pages. -- Suzanne S.
