Unwanted Page "Breaks"
I have used every version of Word since Word for Windows 1.0 to 2003. I have
unwanted breaks between pages (no manual page breaks AT ALL). For instance, in my 350 thesis, the introduction (just simple text) is 4 pages long, although the text can easily fit in 2 1/2 pages. The second page stops half way down the page (seen in print preview) and the next paragraph starts on the next page. Again, there are no manual page breaks. I tried selecting the 4 pages and in format paragraph, I check "keep with next" and "keep lines together" to no avail. I tried deleting the paragraph mark ("show all" is always turned on) and the paragraph is on a full page. When I press enter at the end of the sentance to form a new paragraph, the problem reappears. There is a section break before and after the 4 page introduction. |

Are the paragraphs formatted to have a page break before?

No, but I seem to have corrected the problem by selecting the whole document
and formating the paragraph by keeping the "keep with next" checked but UNchecking "keep lines together" "Doug Robbins" wrote: Are the paragraphs formatted to have a page break before? -- Hope this helps.

The problem is arising from the "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together"
formatting. You would be better off clearing both check boxes. -- Suzanne S.
