Microsoft Word Page Breaks

Your document uses multi-level numbered Heading styles, many of which are referred to as automated cross-references in other parts of the document (e.g. Section 3.2). However, the author has inserted a hard page breaks immediately before a heading. If you delete the hard page break, the heading becomes normal text and the cross-reference to it gets broken. Unfortunately, you don’t realize this until you update the fields in your document and find you have a whole lot of ‘Error! Reference Source Not found.’ messages.

Solution

Force a ‘page break before’ the heading BEFORE you remove the manually inserted page break.

Here’s how:

1. Place your cursor anywhere in the heading.
2. In the Paragraph settings dialog box, go to the Line and Page Breaks tab and select the Page break before check box. Click OK.
3. Delete the manually inserted page break.
4. Optional: Clear the Page break before check box if you really don’t want this section to start on a new page.
