        I tried to do "shift enter" to force a page break
	in word4.00B and it doesn't work! Actually, it show the page
	break correctly both in print preview and page view but not in the
	print out! Further investigations show that the page numbering
	in the Table of Content does not match what is shown in the box at
	the left bottom corner of the window!

When you add the page breaks AFTER putting in the hidden text codes 
for your table of contents entries, the page breaks also get the 
hidden text attribute and don't work.

I use the paragraph format of "page break before" on the paragraph 
headings to determine page breaks and avoid this problem entirely.
However, if you feel more comfortable with the visual page breaks,
turn on hidden text while you're entering them. Then select the line
and turn off hidden text (command-shift-x) if its not working.

Page break before formatting, by the way, avoids having to flip back and
forth between hidden text and regular display. If you also have index
entries that take up extra lines, you have to flip back and forth to 
find the next page break and get it to work.

With page break before formatting, you get a little square to the left
of the paragraph head as a reminder that you've applied a format that
affects pagination, but you can't tell which format you've applied
unless you look at the paragraph formatting. For that reason, I move
all paragraph formats to the menu where I can quickly see where the
checkmarks are. I also have "page break before" assigned to a function
key.

Hope this helps
