Jean, That style is nothing more than an [hds] (start centered line) and an [hde] (end centered line). You might try using [hds0] for your start centered line code. I'm not absolutely sure this will work, but I think I forced a centered line to stay at the bottom of a page by doing this.

I'm using the Word template, and I've also tried it repeatedly from a DXP file. I'm using the center coding, and/or the center full line, no protection from the template. However, when I translate, DBT keeps forcing line 25 text to the top of the next page as if it were a heading. I'm not using h1 or heading styles. Any suggestions on how to keep a centered line on its own at the bottom of a page? Jean "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts"
