Print and Page Break in IE7

I use this code to insert page break in a HTML report that I dsiplay on a Webpage.However when i try to print it , it would have white space filled on the top and bottom portion of the text.

Eg:

strReport = "<pre>" & vbCrLf
strReport = strReport & "TEXT"
strReport = strReport & "</pre>" & vbCrLf
strReport = strReport & "<br style=""page-break-before:always"">" & vbCrLf
strReport = strReport & "<pre>" & vbCrLf
strReport = strReport & "TEXT2"
strReport = strReport & "</pre>"

try without the <pre> tag

'strReport = "<pre>" & vbCrLf
strReport = strReport & "TEXT"
'strReport = strReport & "</pre>" & vbCrLf
strReport = strReport & "<br style=""page-break-before:always"">" & vbCrLf
'strReport = strReport & "<pre>" & vbCrLf
strReport = strReport & "TEXT2"
'strReport = strReport & "</pre>"

Nope. That did not work. The page breaks did not take effect.
My original problem was ;some pages would be fine without any whitespaces but the first few would have whitespace at the top.

you will see the break if you do a print-preview...

The page did not break at that point. It was just one continous page.

this is what i did to test. print preview shows 2 pages. with the <pre> there's a white space on top of page 2

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
</HEAD>

<BODY>
TEXT
<br style="page-break-before:always">
TEXT2
</BODY>
</HTML>

Removal of the <pre> tags results in my existing text loosing its formatting. The text I use has some HTML formatting .
