Tip
You can define your Heading 1 paragraph style to start on a
new page, and thus avoid inserting manual page breaks
between chapters, but this causes a page numbering problem
if you want to restart page numbering at the beginning of
Chapter 1.
To restart page numbering, you must insert a manual page
break; but because the Heading 1 style on the first page of
Chapter 1 forces yet another page break, you end up with one
or more unwanted blank pages before the first page of Chapter
1. The technique described in this chapter avoids this problem.
6) Check whether the first page of the master document has the
correct page style. If not, change it to the correct style (Title page
in this example).
Scroll to the place where the first subdocument begins. Check
whether its page style is correct, and change it if necessary
(Front matter first page in this example).
The first subdocument (Figure 361) has a blank paragraph at the
top of the page; this was inserted as part of the manual page
break. Set this paragraph to the PageBreak style you created in
Step 2.
