Page break paragraph style

[Lester C. Smalley]

The difference is that adding space below the "page break" paragraph
leaves it in place on page X and forces the following paragraph (of any
style) to start at the very top of page X+1, while setting the
pagination to top of page pushes the "page break" from page X to the
start of page X+1 and then whatever follows it is below that, not at the
top of the text frame.

I have always used the added space below method, so my templates have a
single "page break" paragraph format (in fact, usually called
{_Page_Break_} as the braces force it to the end of the catalog list and
definitely make it stand out), and I do not need to have perhaps many
duplicated styles for body & top_body, etc where the only difference is
the pagination setting, or using format overrides to achieve the same
result on only selected instances to force those paragraph to start a
new page.
