To seperate the document into seperate pages, you must place ' <new page' or a single '.' in with the text. The system, when it reads the file in generates multiple pages out of one text file. If a template is used in the _prop file, each page will be printed on top of the blank template and sent as page 1, 2, 3 etc.
