Heading colours in Word output spill onto previous page?

[AK6]

Hi There,

The company I work for have a specific word document format that I must use when producing documentation, this consists of several heading styles that require fill colours behind white text.

The problem I have is when I generate my printed output to Word, the coloured heading on page two for example leaks over to the end of the paragraph on page one.

I have ‘start new topic on each page’ selected but I can’t find anything else to clear the problem. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Any help is much appreciated.

Many thanks!

I have seen that as a general problem in Word when used without any other program such as Rh.

Have you ensured it does not happen when using the company template alone?

It happens when the background colour is set for the paragraph and goes the full width of the page. If it is set to just the text, it will be OK but that might not be acceptable.

It is tricky so come back if you cannot resolve.

Thread moved to RoboHelp Printed Documentation forum. RoboHelp for Word was a separate program that allowed authoring directly in Word.

Hi,

Could this be because when you enter a page break the last style used is used in the first line of the following page. I guess when you generate the Word document it automatically puts in a page break for each Heading 1 / Topic so this could be manually changed in the Word document?

Hope it helps.
