Formatting carries over after page break

Hi,

I'm having a problem with Word 2000 (I use Windows XP,
but I think I've seen this problem on earlier Windows
platforms as well).

Any time that I insert a page break and then change the
formatting of the first line on the next page (for
example, make it a header), the formatting of the last
line on the previous page gets changed as well. I work
around the problem by inserting a blank line before
inserting a page break, but this doesn't seem clean and
can lead to blank pages in a long document. Anyone know
how to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot!
Kavi

Yes. To fix the problem don't manually insert page breaks. The problem is
that for Word there isn't a paragraph break, just a page break, so the
formatting applied to one part of the paragraph goes to the entire
paragraph. Instead of manual page breaks, get in the habit of using a style
that is formatted to have a page break before the paragraph (this is a part
of paragraph formatting).

Thanks for the advice, Charles. I'll start putting the
page breaks into the style definitions in the future.
