 ZH> How do you get Qedit to create a page-break when editing a document?
Your earlier question did not make it clear what you were asking.
The short answer is "you can't" - at least not visibly.
QEdit/TSE Jnr will break pages automatically based on your settings of
page length, and top and bottom margins BUT will not automatically SHOW
you where the break is, before you print.  Neither will TSE Pro; but see
below.
Two solutions:
1.) Keep an eye on the line number as you type, and insert a manual
pagebreak (ASCII 12) at suitable points in your document.
2.) TSE Pro(and maybe later versions of QEdit/TSE Jnr) has a facility for you 
to
scan the document, SEE the pagebreak positions and adjust them before
printing.
Hope this helps,
Brian
