I see. And found the reason: In the target-file put the cursor into the first paragraph of any of the pages and open: format/paragraph/textflow. You will find that there is not only activated "insert break" but also "with page style". If you remove this and only leave "insert break" the empty pages disapear. But I think its more efficient to use the print-option for there is no way to change the paragraph-format for all pages in one operation; each page has to be changed manually, only multiselection would help a little bit, but you have to chosse all the top-page-paragraphs one by one. So I think, you're right: that's a bug as it is normaly not necessary to specify the page style. It should be the way, that one can choose if there must be used a special page-style at the beginning of each new record or not. Could you open an issue? -- _________________________________________________________________________ Claudia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
