MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / August 2004Programatically insert page breaks ?
I need to insert page breaks into my document wherever a certain character string occurs in the document. I also need to remove all the Word inserted page breaks where the document goes over a certain number of lines. How could I do this? Why? Its a long story but this document was transferred from a mainframe computer system that formats the document with EBCDIC carriage returns. Remove page breaks first: search for ^m and replace with nothing. Then search for your text string and replace with ^m.  SignatureSuzanne S.

I think your second search should replace with ^&^m or ^m^& depending on whether the break goes before or after the text string.

I guess I assumed that he was using a dummy text string to indicate where a page break should be. SignatureSuzanne S.
