I've never seen hard page breaks in txt--nor any other differences in font, like italics. My experience has been the reverse--WHen i change the txt to rtf or Word to work in, all changes disappear when the file goes back to txt. That's why we're now allowed to upload in rtf. I change a txt document to rtf, work on it in rtf, and save it as that and upload it as that. Then all breaks, italics and bold are retained.
