Through the magic of <A href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css.html">Style Sheets</A>, you can now make a point of indicating where the pages will break during the print process.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css/article.php/3470341">There are two commands you're worried about here:
<P>
<CENTER><B>page-break-after
<P>page-break-before</B> </CENTER>
<P>You can pretty much pick out what each does. The first sets the printing page 
break just before the element, the second sets the page break just after.
<P>Each command has, in theory anyway, four attributes:
<P>
<CENTER><B>always | auto | left | right</B></CENTER>
<P>
<UL>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>always</B> tells the browser to break the print page after this element 
always. 
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>auto</B> is the default. You're telling the browser to do what it would 
do anyway: Page break where the page ends. 
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>left</B> is not supported by any browser yet. It is used if your printer 
will print both sides of a page, like a manuscript. If the page is a left-facing 
page, use this attribute. 
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>right</B> is what you use if it's a right-facing page. </LI></UL></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F355FD97-1018-4C78-9B7D-EEFCB6677008/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
