I am editing a publication which is a master document and I would
like to specify that for a given sub-document I wish to have
nothing below it on the page but when I insert a page break I am
given another page with a blank paragraph which I do not want. I am
aware of the possibility of specifying that a document must start a
fresh page, but I have tried that in the past and introduced a
non-deletable feature in the master document.
Yes, all documents **must** end with a paragraph mark. Writer
documents are written using XML. The "markers" used to format the
text are used in pairs. If there is a beginning of a paragraph,
there must be an ending of it. The paragraph markers only visually
show you where the paragraphs begin and end.
Sorry, but I don't think this argument works (though I'm not
disputing your first sentence). The questioner is not suggesting
that there should somehow be a paragraph that begins but does not
end. The last real (non-empty) paragraph will begin and end
normally. Then there is a page break. He wants the document to end
there; there would be no unbalanced paragraph indicators. Instead,
it is apparently required that after the page break there must be an
additional empty paragraph: a further (and unwanted) balanced pair of
paragraph indicators, that is. It would be possible to imagine a
document without that empty paragraph without offending against your
requirement for matching indicators.
