Sometimes when financial statements are generated, information that should be kept together is separated by page breaks. You can insert a manual page break to keep related information together. When you insert a manual page break, the financial statement is regenerated to include the page break.
You cannot remove any system-defined page breaks. Manual page breaks can only be inserted into a financial statement during preview. When the financial statement is closed, any manual page breaks that have been inserted are saved for future use.
You can remove all page breaks that were manually inserted using the Remove All toolbar option. You will revert to the original page settings. Manual page breaks that you have inserted can also be removed individually.
If you have already inserted a manual page break in a certain section of the financial statement, you cannot insert another manual page break at that location. The Insert page break right-click option is not available.
You cannot insert a manual page break in the following sections of a financial statement:
