Hi Carrie, Thank you for the info. While Word did remove 80 column breaks, there remained 91 additionalsection breaks. It very well maybe particular to fine reader 8. Fine Reader is putting regular section breaks after some headers. I've tried isolating and removing with no luck. Monday I'll call tech support and see if they'll give me a download of version 7. Thank you to all that followed this thread and gave yourthoughts and suggestions, they are all much appreciated. Tom
