RE: Page break as local formatting permitted?

Certainly, a style guide would be a good idea. However, if you are
indeed the manager, then this is not a style guide issue. If you are a
manger, you were hired to manage. If your employer wanted a style guide
to lead the group, they would have one enshrined in every cube or
office. If they wanted the group managed by group consensus, they
wouldn't have hired a manager. This is a simple question of authority
and obedience. If you've been hired as a manager, then you have
authority--and you need to exercise that authority. This means that
first you tactfully suggest, then you tactfully persuade, and if both
tactful suggestion and persuasion fail, you tactfully dictate. If that
fails, you bluntly dictate. If that fails, you coerce. If that fails,
you dismiss.

Absolutely correct! We don't have a style guide and "it is a power
struggle". I guess the solution to this is the style guide.
