Page Break

[Preston Haag]

I have windows 98, PC. I created my own letter head that
I pull up each time I want to send a letter. When I type
a letter that goes about 3/4 page or a little longer, I
get a line just below the letter head. When I print my
letter, it prints one page with just the letter head and
then the second & third page are on plain paper and
normal. I have to keep retyping and I can't get it to
come out right. Please tell me how to remove the line
below the letterhead. Thank you, Preston Haag

Hi Preston:

That line means "I'm going to put a page break here..."

Your paragraph style has somehow acquired one of the Line and Page Break
properties: Either Keep With Next or Page Break Before or Keep Lines
Together (probably a mixture of them).

Keep With Next forces Word to keep all paragraphs formatted that way on the
same page, so it forces a page break after the header.

Page Break Before throws a page break before the paragraph.

Keep Lines Together forces Word to throw a paragraph to the next page rather
than split it.

These properties can be on either the paragraph or the style: make sure you
check and correct both.

The other thing to look for is that your letterhead is actually a table with
"Allow Rows to split across pages" disabled. Turn on Table>Gridlines so you
can see if this is the case. If it is, remove the non-header rows from the
table, so the text gets typed on the blank page.

Hope this helps
