"rule after paragraph" appears on previous page
I set up a heading style that has a "rule after paragraph".
Of course, it is quite often the first line on a page. On the previous page, I have a page break. The rule appears after the page break character, at the bottom of the page, but I don't want a rule there. If I remove the rule, the heading style on the next page has no rule. It seems that the line of the document that contains the page break *must be* the same style as the first line at the top of the next page. By the way, this happens in Word and Publisher, and has been a source of frustration with these programs for years. So how do I get rid of the "rule after paragraph" that appears with the page break on the previous page? I know there is a workaround, but it is ugly: Don't use a style with a rule at the top of a page. Instead, create a new style that is just a rule with a very small font, and have a blank line of this style under the first line of a page. Ugly. The answer is that this is an undesirable feature in Microsoft Word and Publisher. Unless of course, someone from the company can show us how to stop this from happening! |

Okay, I'll wade in cause I don't know what you're talking about and so I
don't know what to say except.. hmmm maybe don't use "rule after paragragh", hmmm format the heading yourself, save as a simple style, then select the new text and apply that style? hmmm using rules is a doc thing ??? .... unless newer Pub versions are using that, in which case I can't help cause I only use the Pub I've used for more than 10 years that works fabulous for me. I'm just frugal. Or actually..... I did a google .... IT'S A VIRUS YOU GOT!!!!! BobishKindaGuy wrote: I set up a heading style that has a "rule after paragraph".

Simple. Make a style, format the style with a "rule after paragraph".
Make two pages in your document, with ordinary text boxes. In the first page, hit a few returns until you're at the middle, then hit Ctrl-Enter. Now you're at the top of the second page. Apply your style and type something. Now you see the rule below your paragraph. Go back to the previous page and see a rule there. Turn on paragraph markings (that "P" symbol in the toolbar) and you'll see that the rule follows the page break character.
