= SUMMARY =

When a running head immediately follows or precedes the manual page break CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, the manual page break is ignored by the repagination process.

This problem occurs because Word is treating the page break as part of the running-head text. Since a running head cannot contain a page break, Word resolves the ambiguity by ignoring the page break. This occurs regardless of whether the running head precedes the page break or follows it.

The workaround is to place a paragraph mark (that is, press ENTER) at the end of the running-head text that precedes the page break. A running head must appear before the page break of the page on which you want to print the running head.
