Use the following technique if you’re laying out the pages of your piece and find that you need to force the last system on one page to the top of the next page. If you want the system to always appear at the top of a new page, see Page Turns.

To force a system onto the next page

  1. Click the Page Layout tool  image\Page_Layout_Tool.gif. Each system appears, surrounded by a dotted-line.
  2. Go to the page containing the system you want to move.
  3. Click to select the system.  
  4. Choose Page Layout > Systems > Edit Margins.  
  5. Enter a larger number in the Distance Between Systems text box. Make sure the Distance checked is the only box checked.
  6. Click Apply. If the system doesn’t move to the next page, continue increasing the Distance Between Systems and clicking Apply until it moves.
  7. Click Close.
  8. Choose Utilities > Update Layout.
