Hello,
How can I make the pages independent of each other? For example, if I add space on the first page, it doesn't also move the contents of page 2. I tried using a page break, but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks

The attached document has two pages with a page break between them. If I add a little more text to the first page, the new text will roll to a new second page and the text of the current second page will be on the third page. Shortening the text on the first page does not affect the second page at all. What are you seeing that is different from that behavior?

Well, I didn't understand how it works, because it doesn't work in the opposite case. If I lift the text from the second page, it gets mixed up with the first page.
Is there a way to insert the page break throughout the file and not manually, page by page?
Thanks

P:S:In the attached file, since I can't place the cursor under the table, how can I insert a page break?

It isn't clear exactly what your problem is.

Can you provide a sample document with a clear description of what you try, what you expect and what actually happens.

As an aside it may help you to turn on View | Text Boundaries - that will enable you to see where the page breaks are.

Sorry, I'll try to explain better: if I add text to the first page, it goes on the second and the green text on a new page, so the green text doesn't add to the red one. Well,
but the opposite doesn't work. If I raise the blue text on page 3, it adds to the text on the previous page with the red text.
I have other problem in thread up
thanks a lot

You have a page break between page 1 and page 2 which prevents extra text from page 1 flowing into your page 2. It therefore makes a new page 2, and pushes the existing Page 2 down to be page 3.

This page break shows up as a distinct line at the top of page 2 (before you insert any extra page 1 text). [edit: a hard, coloured line instead of the fainter top page margin line]

In general terms you should not be worrying about inserting page breaks; in a long text one might need these to sort out formatting of preliminary matter - First pages, table of contents etc, and for starting Chapters on a right page, if that is what you wish.

A special case is when one wishes a picture or chart to appear always on a separate page.

What I see in your document is:

Page 1 (green background) has one line left blank at the bottom, followed by a manual page break. Essentially that page is full except for one line. If you add text here, it will fill the page and flow over to a new page taking the manual page break as well. Remove the manual page break and text will flow as I think you expect it to.

Page 2 (red text) starts with an empty paragraph, rest of the page is full and followed by a manual page break. Again, that page is full except for one line. As above, remove the page break.

Page 3 (blue background) has one empty paragraph - one line - at the end of the page; this page is also effectively full but as it has no manual page break at the end, text added here will flow over to a new page when this page is full.

You asked the same question less than a year ago and said then that the topic was solved: Thanks it’s fix
[Solved] Independent pages

When asking a question, you should, at the very least, review your own topics first. Not even doing that and wasting our time is disrespectful. I am inclined to simply ignore every post from people like you.

If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit ✏️ button and add [Solved] to the start of the Subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

I apologize and I'm sorry, I remembered a similar thread of mine I tried to search for it but I didn't find it, is there a section in my account where I can also see my older threads?
