Re: Word Page Break
Leana Eckes
I writing a Word document with R markdown in R Studio. I can get many things, but at the moment I am not figuring out how can I get a page break. I have found solutions but only for rendered latex / pdf document that it is not my case.
With the help of John MacFarlane and others on the pandoc google group, I put together a filter that does this. Please see: !topic/pandoc-discuss/FzLrhk0vVbUIn short, the filter needs to look for something to replace with the openxml for pagebreak. In this case\newpageis being replaced with This allows for a single latex markup to be interpreted for both pdf and word output.Joel
What you are trying to do is force a "page break" or "new page" in a word document generated with Pandoc. I have found a way to do this in my environment but I'm not sure it will work in every environment.
In my RMD file the key idea is that i've created what acts like a TEMPLATE document (MyFormattingDocument.docx) and in that word document I tweak the STYLES for things like "Heading 1" and/or "Heading 2" and or "footnote" or whatever other predefined styles I want to tweak.
SOOOO in my case... i tweak the "Heading 1" style in WORD to include a forced "Page Break Before" in the Paragraph formatting for "Heading 1". Exactly how you force every "Heading 1" to always "Page Break" is different in different versions of Microsoft WORD but if you follow the WORD documentation and modify the "Heading 1" style THEN every "Heading 1" will always have a pagebreak before it.
THEN... you save this template file in the some directory you're working from with the RMD file... and it is USED AS a template. THE CONTENTS of the file are ignored.... so don't worry... you can put sample text in this file and test that the formatting all works.... THE CONTENTS ARE IGNORED but the STYLES are USED in the new word document which will be built by the RMD file so.... then every "Heading 1" will have a break before it.
NOTE: You could obviously do the same with ANY style that has a one-to-one mapping from PANDOC MARKUP so you could instead just make all "Heading 3" or whatever.... just look at see in your RMD created DOCX what "STYLE" is being applied and then tweak that style even if you need to insert some "fake" lines with essentially blank content just for the purpose of forcing a style to appear in the DOCX
Here is an R script that can be used as a pandoc filter to replace LaTeX breaks (\pagebreak) with word breaks, per @JAllen's answer above. With this you don't need to compile a pandoc script. Since you are working in R Markdown I assume one has R available in the system.
It is not an automated solution. But I have been adding the text '#####page break' to my markdown document. Then in MS Word using find-replace to replace the text "page break" with "^m" (manual page break).
My solution is not very robust but can work for some of us.Assuming you need a page break before each level 1 title in your word document, I defined this in the format template used in the yaml field reference_docx: .In this document you modify the Heading 1 format (or equivalent) to insert a page break before the Title. Do not forget to start your template with the first docx rendered with knitr (pandoc) in RStudio.
Page breaks are used to end a page without filling it with text. To make sure the title page of your thesis/dissertation is separate from the signature page, for example, insert a page break after the graduation date on the title page.
Page breaks are also used to start a chapter on a new page, a common standard in publishing. To ensure that the new chapter does appear on a separate page, insert a page break immediately following the text at the end of the chapter.
Section breaks are used to allow formatting changes (i.e., different margins, page number styles, etc.) in the same document. To have the preliminary pages (numbered using Roman numerals) and the body of your thesis/dissertation (numbered using Arabic numerals) in one document, a section break should be used to change the format of the page numbers.
In MS Word, I've set my "normal" template to 0 spacing before and after a paragraph, and "Line spacing" to "Single" (I also changed the character to Times New Roman). However, every time I insert a page break, the ----page break---- "character" will have 8pt spacing "after", and "Line Spacing" at 1.08. This will happen even if I am currently using use the predefined "No spacing" style.
If I subsequently need to enter text at the bottom of an existing page (that is: right before or after a line break character) this new text will retain the spacing, messing up my layout. I can reset this in the paragraph options, but it's cumbersome, as this happens to me several times a day.
I've just come across this thread when someone came to me with the same issue. I did a bit of testing it out and I've solved the issue. When you use Ctrl + Enter it uses the default MS +Body style for the page break. To fix it, you need to change the +Body spacing.
To remove a page break, go to the Home tab and click on the icon to show section and page breaks. Find the page break in your document which you want to remove. Double click on it then press the Delete button on your keyboard.
The solution to the problem I was having appears to require me to hover over the area I want to insert a new section/paragraph AND WAIT a couple of seconds before pressing the Enter key. It seems a little quirky but it has permitted me to move forward with my project.
Pretty sure that there are no page breaks in Paper. You'll have one long continuous "page" as long as you're in Paper. Once you export the document to, for instance, Word format, it will have multiple pages if it's long enough.
I am exploring Dropbox Paper as a possible solution for gathering both photos/video and text/comments from several folks who I took a trip with. I would like the end product to be similiar to a power point/slide show (I am thinking Paper's Present option?). I would like to have the ability to create and edit (add/delete/move) slides/sections (what I previously called a new page).
I have created some sections and added text and photos. I am able to insert/add a new blank line (and therefore have access to other menus/functions) within the first section and before the 5th and currently the last section but have not found a way to do so for the other sections.

When I hover over the area in the document where I want to insert/start a new paragraph (is this the same as a new section?) and press Enter (or click) I am sent to the top of the document to the start of the title of the document.
I am currently creating a large word document via flow (populate word template).So far I use the enter key for paragraphs/line break (expression: json('"NL":"\n"')?['NL']).
But now I want to force a page break. For this I can use the previous function for line break only conditionally. Especially, because the inserted content has a different size. Therefore the distance to the next page is different.
I found this post where they talk about how to add break lines with the Populate Microsoft Word Template action: Solved: Populate a Microsoft Word template - to add line b... - Power Platform Community
In that case, I think there's no way to add a page break in a Word Template (I could be wrong, though). I'll keep searching, but yes, so far what I've seen is a page break with HTML, but that wouldn't work in this case.
