My wife and I are working on a Niche community educational flash card tool. Wondering if people can help us move ahead. I have done some text formatting before, but I think you all could take the guess work out of this.

We want to have words by themselves in the top, middle of a first page

Then when you hit next page it moves to the definition in the middle of the word by itself on p. 2. Then it moves to the next word etc.

My question is largely about pagebreaks and the DTP/MeatGrinder:

DTP: If I format this by using page breaks and centering in O_o or other wordprocessor, will it pick up the formatting or should I do it in html? Would someone give an example of how to set up tags for it?

MeatGrinder: will the MG "read" page breaks? I have read in places that is does. Format guide says that centering is no problem.

The thing about the tool is that if page breaks won't work we probably wouldn't be able to do it as we have it in our heads.

thanks.
