I am doing a search for manual page breaks and Word says
it sees on in this particular section and I cannot see
it. It is at the same point that a table is in. Does the
table have it's own page break? When I delete the table,
Word doesn't find a page break in that spot.

Tables don't contain page breaks, but the page break is
probably sitting in the same paragraph mark as the table -
- so it's hidden when you're looking in Print Layout view.

Change your view to Normal view and you will see all page
breaks cleanly across the full page.

If you add a return immediately before the page break
when you see the break in Normal view, you'll then be
able to see it when you switch back to Print Layout view.

Hope that helps.

I tried that, but it doesn't hightlight (show up) when
Word finds it. The page break is in a cell of a table, if
I highlight anywhere else and do the search, it doesn't
show up. It's not messing up my document, I just find it
quite strange that Word find a page break, but it doesn't
show up anywhere!! If you have any other suggestions on
how to find this thing, let me know!!
