Hi Dean, yes, you want to leave a blank line after the page break (and before it, too) Like a page would look like: blank line page break blank line page number blank line text of page blank line page break blank line Does that make sense? If there is a header, and it is a repeating header, you should delete those. If it is a header like a Chapter 1, my understanding is that would go in the "text of page" part and you don't need a blank line before and after that. But if the page numbers are at the bottom of the page, then you need to protect the Chapters by setting it up like this: blank line page break blank line Chapter Chapter 1 text of page blank line page number blank line page break blank line Hope that helps.
