I've tried following the instructions provided by Joel exactly, except that 
I'm using the bash terminal rather than Rstudio to create my output files. 
My system is Ubuntu 14.04. I get the following error: 
"pandoc: Error running filter ./pandoc-word-pagebreak
./pandoc-word-pagebreak not found in path "

Where should the result of "$ghc --make -v pandoc-word-newpage.hs" be 
stored? I've put all the resulting files in $HOME/.cabal/bin and added this 
to my path, but this didn't work.

Command to create the output file:

"pandoc -S -o output.odt --filter pandoc-citeproc --filter 
./pandoc-word-pagebreak input.md  --reference-odt=template.odt "

Thanks for any advice you may have. I certainly am very unfamiliar with 
haskell and properly using custom pandoc filters.
