You can insert a page break in a conditional statement if you build the
statement manually using CTRL+F9 for the field boundaries eg

{IF {Mergefield Fieldname} = condition "insert a page break from the menu
here" }
However, this will not work unless you test for every possible alternative
that might crop up in your data file. You might investigate Cindy's web site
for suggestions -
