The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,
2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SYMPTOMS
If you position a header or footer using a frame in Microsoft Word for
Windows, the paragraph formatting for Page Break Before is overridden.
MORE INFORMATION
To avoid this problem, do not insert a frame into the header/footer;
instead, choose Paragraph from the Format menu, and apply your
formatting.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- From the File menu, choose New, and choose the OK button. From the
View menu, choose Normal.
- Type a word, and press ENTER.
- On the second line, type a few words.
- Select the first line. From the Insert menu, choose Frame. From the
Format menu, choose Frame, and select Vertical Position to Center.
- Select the second line. From the Format menu, choose Paragraph, and
select Page Break Before.
- From the View menu, choose Header/Footer, and close the Header
pane by clicking the Close button.
- A dotted line should appear between the two lines of text, and the
status bar should read two pages.
- From the View menu, choose Header. From the Insert menu, choose
Frame. From the Format menu, choose Frame, and select Horizontal
Center to position the Header.
Before you close the Header pane, the dotted line disappears. If you
close the header, the status bar only reads one page. If you print the
document, the first line is centered vertically and the header is
centered horizontally as expected. However, the second line appears on
the same page rather than on the next page as stipulated.
