Thanks Ann. I always save a 2nd copy of my work in case something goes
wrong. You never know when something unexpected can happen.

Hi all,

Susan, do the following.

1.  load up Word with your book.

2.  Press  ctrl-h.

3.  In the first edit box write ^b  that's caret b.

4.  In the second edit box put ^p^m^p that's caret p caret m caret p.  
This will give you a page break with a blank line before and after it.

5.  Tab to replace all and press the spacebar.


Now, this may work just perfectly, but it may not.  I had to do that with a
book I was proofing and I got some thousand page breaks.  I was able to
delete all the extraneous ones because the headers had been left in the
book.  Had they not, I would have had to reject the book 
because I couldn't tell where each page began.   My advice, save this 
book to a new filename before you start tampering with it.  That way, if you
get a million page breaks, you'll still have the original file to fall back
on.  I have found this method to be most efficient for proofing.  I have
sometimes made real bloopers and have been able to recover my work.

HTH,
Ann P.
