Create page break using OpenXml

I use OpenXml to create Word document with simple text and some tables under this text. How can I force Paragraph with this text to show always on new page? Maybe this paragraph should be some Header but I'm not sure how to do this.

Thanks

Solution

  • You can create a page break within a Run element using the <w:br> element. In raw OpenXML, it would look something like:

    <w:p>
  <w:r>
    <w:br w:type="page" />
  </w:r>
</w:p>

    If you're using the OpenXml SDK, you can use

    new Paragraph(
  new Run(
    new Break(){ Type = BreakValues.Page }));

    EDIT:

    If you just want to specify that a paragraph is the last thing on a page, you can try the <w:lastRenderedPageBreak /> tag.

    new Paragraph(
   new Run(
      new LastRenderedPageBreak(),
      new Text("Last text on the page")));
