Hmm. It's interesting that, in my document, the excessive page break only happens in one location (after H4.3.1.2). That suggests that there is a more specific trigger. However, the excessive page break can be (sort of) acceptable, but the inability to view the whole document that is produced (IOW, you can only view up to approx. H15.1 instead of H28) is not acceptable. Is that also a page break issue? -- David Masterson
