Here is what I've used in the past...

<style type="text/css">

DIV.page { page-break-after: always; }

</style>

then create divisions in the page where you want the page breaks.

<div class="page">

.....stuff to be printed on the page

</div>
A page break will follow the </div>. Repeat the <div class="page">, add
additional stuff for the subsequent pages, followed by </div> where you want
page breaks.

THe problem with this method is not knowing how many lines a user's printer
allows per page. To use this with any success, you pretty well have to have
a captive audience, all have the same set up on their printes as far as top
and bottom margins are concerned. It works well in an intranet environment
where you have some control over your user's, but as for internet use, it's
pretty much hit and miss, I think.

Good luck....
