Adding page breaks to documents

You can add page breaks to a document to signify the beginning of a new document section. For example, to create a cover page, use the Document Header section to display the title and author, inserting a page break after the Document Header. Or, to print each Detail section on a separate page, add page breaks after each section. To print the Detail Header and Detail Footer separately from the Detail section, use the Before and after section setting.

You can also add page breaks for groups. For more information, see Inserting page breaks between groups.

2. If the Property List is not visible, select Property List from the View menu.

3. Select the section to print on a new page by choosing it from the drop-down list at the top of the Property List.

4. Select one of the following options from the Property List: Page Break: Force new page drop-down list:

   • Before section causes the page break to occur before the section begins.

   • After section causes the page break to occur at the end of the section.
