Page breaks with Heading styles

[Jared Robinson]

Hi there

I'm currently working on a longish document where I'm using the
Heading 1 style for chapter titles and Heading 2 for Headings within
the chapter. I want (normally) every chapter to start on a new page
and every 'Heading 2' to start a new page and so have set 'page break
before' in the two styles appropriately. However, in the case of the
first page of a new chapter I generally have a 'Heading 1' immediately
followed by a 'Heading 2' and in this case I don't want the page break
before the 'Heading 2'. At the moment I have applyed direct
formatting to the first instance of 'Heading 2' in each chapter to
remove the page break but I'm hoping someone out there can tell me a
way of avoiding using direct formatting but achieving the same effect.

Any help greatly appreciated!

I'm with Graham; I'd stick with the direct formatting rather than introduce
a new style since styles based on Word's built-in headings can be
problematic.
