PageBreak Problem

[Kevin]

I would post this question in another Newsgroup but the
others that might be more appropriate are not available. I
am working on a document which is 34 pages long. Word is
sticking autopage breaks in inappropriate locations, many
times well short of the end of the page. Sometimes there
is only 1 line between breaks. Why!? How can I stop this.
I can improve things by cutting text, which should be
between the breaks and paste it into the correct page.
Word then just moves the break down. This has been a
persistent problem. We were using Word 97 and have
upgraded to WordXP. The problem has existed with both
versions. I have, in the past, saved the file as a plain
text file but that is a drastic move given all the
formatting I would have to redo. Any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

We are using WordXP with Windows 2000.

Thanks in advance!

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Have a look at the paragraph formatting. It may be set to Page Break
Before.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
