Roger, A blank line is needed before the page number or the page number won't be on its own line; it would be either a part of the preceding line or part of the page break line (if it's at the top). If one hits return after the page number, that creates a blank line so another after the page number is not needed; at least I think that's the explanation; hth CIndy On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 12:36 PM, Roger Loran Bailey <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> wrote: > # > Uh, when did that change?
