How do I force a pagebreak within a mailmerge?

edited June 2002 in General
Part of my application allows the user to enter a document (richtext) via a
richtext editor... inserting the appropriate insertion fields...
... ... etc.... the document is stored in a blob field
of a database and is used in a mailmerge. The mailmerge works great and
everything is working fine.... except... the document (richtext) file can be
several pages long... (8 to 10 pages) and the user wants the ability to
manually insert a page break... something like and have the report
force a page break at that place... Is there a way to insert manual
pagebreaks within a richtext file?... something ReportBuilder will recognize
when doing a mailmerge?

Thanks for any help.

    There is no way to insert a pagebreak into the richtext. You best option
    would be to preprocess the richtext and create multiple RichText component
    for each 'section' of the document. Then set ReprintOnOverflow on the
    sections which will cause the entire richtext 'section' to print on the next
    page if it hits the bottom of the page.
