A blank at the top of a page is ignored, because usually you use a blank as a separator, that is useless at the top of a page, because the page
break is enough to separate two texts.

Sometimes you need a blank on top anyway, i.e. at the start of a chapter. In that case use "force".

Tha= nks Massi, this is exactly what I was looking for.
