Word adding unwanted automatic page breaks!
Hi,
I'm using Word 2007, and am midway through editing a document creating using Word 2003 (working in Compatibility Mode). It has been acting perfectly normally, but halfway down, has started putting in a page break each time I press Enter to start a new paragraph. Higher up the document, I am still able to press Enter without inserting a page break. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks for any help you can offer, Anna |

It sounds like your space after paragraph setting is cranked up. Check your
paragraph settings. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "glitterbug99" wrote in message ...

It sounds like Page Break Before (PBB) formatting is enabled in the problem
paragraphs. This can happen if the style applied to those paragraphs includes the PBB attribute (sometimes the case with certain Heading # styles), or if you've used direct formatting to apply PBB. Click in one of the problem paragraphs. In the Home tab, click the Paragraph dialog launcher (lower right corner of the Paragraph chunk in the ribbon). In the Line and Page Breaks tab, notice the check next to Page break before. Now... if the problem is that you applied PBB directly to an earlier paragraph and subsequent paragraphs have simply inherited the PBB formatting, then select the affected paragraphs and use the Paragraph dialog to turn PBB off. If the problem is that you've inadvertently applied a style whose definition includes PBB, then select the affected paragraphs and apply a style better suited to body text (i.e., whatever style was applied earlier in the non-problem part of the document). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "glitterbug99" wrote in message ...

Thanks - it was the Page Break Before formatting. I was working with a
document created by someone else a couple of years ago, so who knows what they've done to it! Removing the formatting from the specific affected paragraphs has done the job, cheers.
