Hi all,
I created a blank page by inserting a page break (there is only one Enter in
that page. The style is "Normal".). In the next page I applied "Heading 2" on
the title. Then I found that the previous page (the blank page) changed to
"Heading 2" too. Why?

A manual page break acquires the style of the following paragraph. To avoid
this, format your Heading 2 as "Page break before" and delete the manual
page break.

Well, thanks Suzanne. But I don't want to break page before every Heading 2.
In that case what should I do then?

Thanks.

Well, you don't have to modify the Heading 2 style, just that specific
Heading 2 paragraph.
