This is a real problem, but that's the wrong solution. The feature Sam wants is the "page-break-before" paragraph property, which is currently defined (and displayed on the second page of the paragraph dialog). Essentially, the semantics of this property are that any paragraph which has it should always start at the beginning of the page. Because this is a property, it can also be used in style definitions, which is especially nice. Unfortunately, for some strange reason the formatter doesn't honor this property yet. To be honest, I'm not sure why -- it should be *very* easy to implement. By contrast, manual page breaks (via <pbr>) are used to change the breaking of an existing paragraph, in case you don't like where the widow/orphan logic broke the paragraph. They're used fairly rarely. In this case, you *do* want the paragraph to contain the forced break, so margins, line spacing, etc. all stay the same for both halves of the paragraph. Paul
