Hi Ron

Thanks. However, I think I failed to explain myself properly. The problem I have is not 'how do I insert a hard page break?', it is 'given that the toc is generated content, where do I insert the hard break?'. The content is a fairly standard DocBook article with no TOC. We're taking advantage of the automatically generated toc so there isn't anywhere to place the PI in my content!

cheers
