Adding a Page Break to a Document
Updated over a week ago

As of Penelope version 4.14.1.0, it is possible to add a page break to a Document for printing purposes. This function allows you to configure where you would like page breaks to appear in a Document. Previously, you either had to guess by using carriage returns (e.g. hitting the enter key) or by allowing the page to print onto the next page by breaking up text that appeared at the bottom of a page.
