Defining Page Breaks

You can easily manage page breaks in your Word styles. This is useful if you want a specific paragraph style to always initiate a page break in the Word export, allowing the format of the document to stay consistent.

Prerequisites 

To define when page breaks are inserted in your Word exports, the required Scroll Paragraph styles must be first added to the export template.

Define page breaks

1. Open your Word template, select the Home tab and then choose the Style Pane option

2. In the Styles section, right-click on the chosen paragraph style that you want to associate a page break with  e.g. Scroll Heading 1

3. Then, click Modify Style:
   

   

4. Following this, click Format > Paragraph...

5. Within the Paragraph dialog box, click the Line and Page Breaks tab

6. Select the option Page break before 
   Within this dialog box you can also control further options:

   Section	Element	Description
   Pagination	Widow/Orphan control	Prevents single paragraph lines at the top or bottom of the page
   	Keep with next	Keeps the paragraph style on the same page as the next paragraph
   	Keep lines together	Prevents the paragraph style from breaking across a page
   	Page break before	Inserts a page break before the paragraph style
   Formatting exceptions	Suppress line numbers	Suppresses the line numbers
   	Don't hyphenate	Prevents hyphenation

   
   

7. Select OK and save the template

After the template is  uploaded to your Confluence system  it can be used to  export your content to Word .
