Getting the page breaks where you want them is much more difficult than
it should be.
I have a method that has worked for me under Windows 95, and it may work
under a other systems as well.
- If I want a page break in the middle of some text, I break the text
into two cells.
- To insert a page break before or after a cell, I select the cell.
Then I select "Show Expression" under Format. Then the cell looks
something like:
Cell[BoxData[
RowBox[{"x", "==", "4"}]], "Output",
CellLabel->"Out[5]="]
At the end of the above expression add the option PageBreakAbove->True,
or PageBreakBelow->True.
Then go back to Format and deselect "Show Expression".
Note:
Only select "Show Page Breaks" when you need to know where the page
breaks are.
The editor acts very screwy when page breaks are displayed.

|One of our faculty members is trying to create a rather complex
document |in Mathematica 3.0 for Windows 95. He is having some
problems with |pagination. 3 technical support people in the department
have looked at |the problem with no success. Here are some of the
problems: |
|1) Page breaks are happening at strange places - leaving him with pages
|that are only 1/2 full. There's no good reason for it, since the
|contents of the next page is simply text, and there's no reason no to
|break it across a page.
|
|2) When 'Show Page Breaks' is checked on, he can see Page 1, 2, and
then |it jumps immediately to 5 for the rest of the 5 page document. |
|3) I didn't try this myself, but apparently my colleagues tried
|inserting new page breaks to see what they could force, but this
didn't |help, and then they couldn't remove the page breaks! |
|Has anybody else encountered these problems? Is there a fix? Does
|3.0.2 fix them?
|
|Thanks in advance,
