Indeed, this was one of the first things I tried, with no effect. No, the problem was really with the page break command. As soon as I went to page layout, selected all the systems and chose delete page breaks from the menu, the problem went away. How this came to be in the first place I

Ah, but it did, and I haven't the slightest idea why. But selecting all the systems with the Page Layout Tool and selecting delete page breaks from the menu solved the problem, both in the exported/ imported file and in the original version. Probably a case of hitting the wrong key at the
