I did something similar a few years and just created the source documents in 
Word with embedded tokens to be replaced dynamically by information from the 
database.  The documents were then saved in .rtf format.  Thus page soft breaks 
were handled by Word and, as I recall, Word would automatically adjust the page 
length if the inserted information made the page longer or shorter.  Hard page 
breaks were inserted as necessary for the end of sections, etc.

A technique that I found useful was to edit the documents in Notepad to reveals 
the embedded codes.

For example, the following code shows the document before and after a new page. 
 A is on page 1 and B is on page 2.  There is no hard page break.

\par A
\par B
\par 

This code shows a inserted hard page break

\par A
\par \page 
\par B

I hope this helps, please feel free to contract me offline if you have any 
other questions that you think I might be of help with.

Subject: [U2] Creating Multiple page RTF documents


Hi. I am in the process of creating RTF documents in Universe and am stuck 
on how to create a multiple page document.

Currently I have a RTF template which was created in Word with tokens 
which I replace in databasic with the appropriate data. Also, the rtf 
document contains headers and footers (and the data in the header changes 
from one page to the next page) 

can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this or if its 
possible?
