Different strokes for different folks, Chet. I write for a
living, rather than program. Having the page break on screen
enables me to avoid having to print a document to discover copy
running over to the next page at awkward places, such as
immediately after a subheading, or in the middle of a bulleted
item. Instead, I can see the problem on screen, and insert a
 at the appropriate point to avoid it. The same thing holds
true of columnar matter.
