Good to know. I am a confirmed TeXer and am used
to: 
\vfil\eject
or its equivalent for page breaks.

I haven't used WordPerfect in decades, and use
other word processors only when a client dictates
a doc format. 

When I receive a word doc for typesetting or
indexing my first step is to convert it to plain
ASCII text, either in LibreOffice or with
antiword.
