Heading 1 Starting on a New Page

[Laura Charles Johnson]

Good morning all!

I'm on Word 2003 on WinXP.

I was just on Word MVPs and found what I thought was the answer to my
question: How do I incorporate starting each Heading 1 on a new page in to
my template. However, I seem to have done something wrong.

I followed the instructions about going to Styles/Formatting, selecting
Heading 1, clicking Modify, then select Format > Paragraph > Line & Page
Breaks > Page Break Before.

What's now happening is that the template is moving from the end of the last
paragraph, going to the next page and adding a page break, and then starting
the Heading 1 on the NEXT page...meaning there's a completely blank page
between the last bit of text and the next Heading 1.

This is adding a ton of unnecessary blank pages in my document.

Can someone assist?

Thanks!

Laura Johnson

Did you delete any existing manual page breaks?

If you mean manual as any places where I did Insert > Break > Page Break -
no I didn't delete those. I suppose this is one of those "Duh moments" for
me.

I'm assuming that's the problem then. I'll got and do that right away.

Thanks, Suzanne.

It's an easy thing to overlook, especially if you're working in Print Layout
view. Sometimes even when Word doesn't throw an extra page, it's TOC gets
confused, and I've had issues where I had trouble printing a specific page
because Word couldn't work out what the page number was.
