Force new page for printed documentation

Is there anywhere in RoboHelp where I can insert something at the start of a particular topic (maybe a conditional build tag) to force a new page in my printed documentation? There doesn't appear to be a "paginate protection" feature and sending my printout to Word to manually protect widows/orphans and certain other elements of my document is a pain.

I also don't want to use Start Each Topic on a New Page because that isn't always desirable.

Are you talking about when you export to Word? If so then style definitions are the key in the transition from RHTML CSS to the Word Template.

Unfortunately, you cannot map Heading styles and it is the headings that I don't want to be left at the bottom of the page when the page breaks.

Create a CSS style with one of the properties being visibility: hidden. You will see a line in the WYSIWYG editor but not in the output. (No text in the paragraph with this style). Map that style to something also used just for this purpose in Word. That style will include Page Break Before.

The idea is similar to something I did so with a bit of effort you should be able to achieve what you want, page breaks at points that cannot be linked to a style or all topics, just those topics where you want to specify something.
