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.

In addition to defining page breaks in your template, you can also define page breaks within Confluence by using the Scroll Pagebreak Macro.

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:
