Re: Word TOC question

["Ridder, Fred" <F -dot- Ridder -at- DIALOGIC -dot- COM>]

The other approach to solving this Word problem is to force a page
break by making it an attribute of the specific heading paragraph
(Format>Paragraph>Text flow>Page break before) rather than
inserting a page break control character (Insert>Break>Page break).
As John correctly observes, Word considers the page break
character to be part of the following paragraph, and this makes the
heading paragraph appear to start one page sooner than it really
does.

BTW, I believe this "feature" first appeared in Word 95. I've been
using MS Word since version 1.0 for the Macintosh and I'm quite
sure that manual page breaks worked just fine up through Word 6.
That's progress for you...
