I am working on our SSP 5.5, and am trying to break a verse across two screens, I did the ctrl + enter as it says to do, but all it does is add a funny character, and doesn't change the way the song looks, am I missing something...thanks.

In the display properties, you need to change it to show a page at a time, rather than a verse at a time.

Right - and that would be to right-click on the song, select Edit Display Properties, check and click Song Layout, then the Lyrics tab. Note the drop-down list on the bottom of the dialog. In there you will find the page-by-page choice.

That "funny character" is the standard symbol for Paragraph.

Once you have changed your settings in display properties, what do you do within your actual song to make a page break? Is there a hot key or something else that I am missing?

Edit the song

Select the lyrics tab

at the end of the last line to be displayed, put a page break (Ctrl+ENTER)

EDIT: I had brackets around enter, and it made it (view source to see the magic).

I think you meant to put a Cntl Enter at the end of the lines where you want the break.
