preventing a style from starting on the previous page?
I am trying to insert a table of contents that is supposed to contain
entries (table titles) that appear in the text using a particular paragraph style. Some of these table titles appear after page breaks. Unfortunately, Word applies the style on the last line before the page break and then on the page with the title. Thus, each table title that starts on a new page appears twice in the table of contents; once for the previous page and once for the page containing the table title. Is there any way to prevent Word from applying a style before a page break? I can insert an empty line in a different style at the top of each page, but there must be a better solution. Thanks for any help, -Yves |

Instead of inserting page breaks, change the paragraph style to include

Thanks. However, changing the style led to all tables being shifted around
the document (especially, when two tables were on the same page). I've replaced all the page breaks in the document with section page breaks and that seems to have solved things (although, now there are about 50 sections). It would be nice if there were a way to prevent styles at the top of a page from applying to the last line of the previous page when using page breaks. -Yves "Jezebel" wrote in message ...

Inserting section breaks is a recipe for disaster. Jezebel has given you the
correct approach. If you don't want *all* paragraphs of that style to start on a new page, then don't apply the property to the style, just to the paragraphs in question (and of course delete the manual page breaks). -- Suzanne S.
