Page Breaks

In Mathcad, there are automatic, soft page breaks, determined by your printer and margin settings, and hard page breaks, which you set yourself in appropriate places in the document. Hard page breaks appear as a solid line across the worksheet and constitute a region. Soft page breaks appear as dashed lines and cannot be moved using the mouse. Everything below a page break prints on a new page.

To insert a hard page break, position the cursor and choose Page Break from the Insert menu. If the page break cuts across any math or text regions, you can move either the break or the regions by selecting and dragging them to an empty spot.

To delete a page break, drag the cursor over it to select it and press either the [Delete] or [Backspace] key.

You can use Separate Regions from the Format menu to separate a region from a hard page break. Choose Repaginate Now from the Format menu to force Mathcad to move soft page breaks above any region that would print in pieces on successive pages.
