What, exactly, did you do? What were you expecting and what did you get? It 
worked fine for me when I do it.

Page types are not much different than story types, unless you configure them 
to be.  You can change whether a node has a teaser or not and how long the 
teaser is at admin/content/node-settings. However, that affects all types, 
not just page. You can override that setting on a node by node basis by 
placing a "<!--break-->" (w/o the quotes) where you want the teaser to stop, 
at the end of the post for no teaser.
