Thanks everyone. I apologize for the late response but I have been
"overworked" and taxed with the task of getting one of my twins ready for
graduation this past Friday.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are
all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory
of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And
as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others."-Mariann Williamson

Martha is correct that most of the books we proof don't have section breaks.
The one I'm proofing now was the first one I've come across that did, which
is why I didn't think of globally replacing them with page breaks and
disastrously deleted them smile
In my Wword, which I think may be older than 2002 there is an Insert file on
the ruler next to the format file. click on it, then scroll ldown to Symbol,
and there is a whole chart of symbols you can shoose from. Put your cursor
where you want to insert the symbol, then click on the symbol you want and
click n insert it will appear in the text. When you clock on the symbol, at
the bottom of the chart it tells you the Times new roman and Unicode
character numbers for the symbol. Also, below that, there's something that
says shortcut key and next to it the keystroke combinations that you can use
to quickly get the symbol. For example, I use Option and the E key to
replace a normal e with an é
