You should find a way to add css "page-break-after" to your page
One option is to use <html></html> tags and put something like
<STYLE>
P { page-break-after: always }
</STYLE>
to your page.
Also a pagebreak plugin would easy to create.

Otto,
Thanks for the reply. It's helped make a stressful day slightly less
stressful. Here's what I did to have a temporary solution.
1. Enabled embedded html.
2. Added this snippet of code at the top of the page I am editing:
<html>
<style>
#pb {page-break-after: always }
</style>
</html>
3. Inserted this snippet of code where I want the page to break while
printing:
<html><p id="pb"/></html>
I see a couple of potential problems with this approach, but it seems to
work OK with the *very* limited testing I have done.
Positive:
* Seems to work fine with both IE and Firefox.
* Very simple and quick to impliment
Issues:
* It will add an unneeded space between the page break location and
the next item. I don't know if the browser will ignore that extra space
because of the new page or not.
* Not as good as a plugin.
I took a quick look at the plugin documentation, but at this point it is
beyond my technical ability with PHP, and I am too constrained for time
to be able to learn the needed php, make the plugin, test, and
impliment. Maybe in the future....
Thanks again,
- Jesse
