While writing an article in latex, the automatic \newpage does not work

enter image description here

Even if I use the following command at the beginning of the article (this is my documentclass) I have to insert \newpage every time by hand. Is it normal? How can I fix this problem?

\usepackage [a4paper,top=3cm,bottom=3cm,left=2.5cm,right=2.5cm]{geometry}
    \textheight=5000px                    % Saving trees ;-)
\usepackage{url}

You are forcing the document to have a textheigth of 5000 pixels, which correspond to 176 cm, more or less: this means that LaTeX is optimizing the text to fill a space in the page whose heigth is 176 cm.

If you want to save space (and paper!) just set the geometry package, removing the \textheigth option: set the margins as you prefer, taking into account that the document should be pleasent to see.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage [a4paper,top=2cm,bottom=2cm,left=2.5cm,right=2.5cm]{geometry}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-102]
\end{document}

Reducing the margin automatically enlarges the space for text in the page in a more safe way.

Instead of using the options top, bottom, left, rigth you may use the option

\usepackage [a4paper,margin=1cm]{geometry}

to set all them to the same value.
