Important point: Are you using the "Hidden Text" attribute just before
the page break or section break?  This one bit me in a 130+ page bit of
documentation I wrote.  Let me tell you, you can waste a LOT of paper
trying to figure out what is going on.

In my case, I often had figures which appeared at the end of the page. I
was using the Index markers to collect figure titles, and of course,
they have the hidden-text attribute enabled.  That hidden-text attribute
was carrying over into the forced-page-break or section-break, causing
the page NOT to break.  Stupidly, the Word Print Preview shows the page
breaks as if they are really going to be there when you print.

Solution?  Check those page and section breaks for hidden text!  There
is a way to use FIND/REPLACE to do this for you, but I don't have that
info handy.
