I guess I am asking, is there some kind of formatting command that would tell the pages to break only AFTER a full stop/period? I am a screenwriter, and there is such a command in my screenwriting software.
It's what widows and orphans is for. But your TTS is broken / in error to be pausing between virtual pages caused by text flow rather than file breaks/headings.

However even Widows and Orphan settings won't work because paragraphs larger than a page exist (esp in Victorian & 18th novels.).

I can't see how your screenwriting works? What is the output, paper, screen or Autocue?

I've never seen any such formatting in a Wordprocessor.
