Page Breaks and Repagination

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

A forced page break can be inserted into the document by pressing [Ctrl]+[Enter], or selecting the Insert | Insert Break | Page Break menu option. This places the text after the page break on the following page. A forced page break is indicated by a solid line in the editing window.

In the Print View mode, the editor also creates automatic page breaks when the text overflows a page. An automatic page break is indicated by a dotted line in the editing window. As the name implies, these page breaks are calculated automatically by the editor between the keystrokes. The repagination process is time consuming, and sometimes there might not be enough time for a large document to complete the repagination between the edits. Therefore, the menu also provides an option to initiate complete repagination on demand. The following options are also available on the Insert menu.
