Question

Force Page Break Before Certain Headings

I would like to force a page break before the main section of my user manual. However, when using the "Page break before new topic" in the build options creates a new page for every single topic instead of book as I would like.

Is there any way to get the behavior I want...?

Thanks

    The short answer is "no" as RH has no concept of page breaks. It is an online help tool. As far as the printed documentation is concerned, it is just that - a hard copy of the help. As this creates Word output what is wrong with Kathy's solution?

    That's what I'm going to do. I just wanted to know if there was an unknown option somewhere in the software or if there was a way instead of relying on the other software.

    I do that too. Assuming your main section starts with a heading that has a style applied to it (for example, a Heading 1 or H1 or BookTitle or whatever you want to call it), define the corresponding style in Word to have a page break before it. That is, in Word, go to Format > Style > select Heading 1 > Modify > Paragraph > Line and Page Breaks > Page break before.

    Thanks... But is there a way to do that directly in RoboHelp HTML instead of relying on Word...?
