Style forcing new page break

Hi there

I have a problem and I wonder if it is a known problem
and if there is any way around it.

Very occasionally, in one particular document, when I
format a style as one of Word's Heading styles, or as a
table caption, the following paragraph is forced onto a
new page - BUT there is no page-break inserted, just what
looks like the normal paragraph mark.

Interestingly, in the case of the caption, when I deleted
the picture above it, the spacing was corrected, but when
I pasted it back in, the line after the caption was back
on the next page.   In the case of the Heading styless,
deleting the paragraph in that style corrected the
spacing, but at that point in the document I could not
use that style.

Mostly throughout  the document these 2 facilities worked
fine, except for a total of 3 random places in the 85
pages where this problem occurred.

I wonder if this is a bug, or if the document template
has been corrupted in some way, or what ?

Thanks for any help.

Dave

Hi David,

From the description, I'd say that some damage has
accumulated in some paragraph marks. It might be just one or
two around where you're noticing the problem; it could be a
lot more. Unlike problems in section breaks, it's very
difficult to narrow down and eliminate damage in paragraph
marks.

One thing you can try is to select the paragraph just before
where a problem is occurring, plus a couple of paragraphs
beyond. CUT them, then use Edit/Paste special and paste as
plain text. You'll have to reapply any formatting, of
course, but with any luck the damage will have been stripped
out.
