You should use New Page rather than Page Break. The latter stretches the 
page, just as you are seeing; the former does not. See section 3.5.5 of 
the User Guide. I agree it is not very clear what the difference is from 
the menu or the display. If you have any ideas what would make it 
clearer, please let us know.
