Or, if you want to save yourself a dollar or two, just turn num lock on,
hold down the alt key, and while the alt key is down press a 1 and a 2
(making 12) on the numeric key pad.  That will insert a form feed
character into Notepad at least.

Well, I have been doing some research on this one.  I can find no way
in Word, note pad, or word pad to insert form feed characters.  So, I
asked a colleague who has all kinds of editors to write a document
with form feeds in it to see if the book port would honor them.  As
Rob said, it does.  Now, if I really want a form feed in a document, I
can simply cut and paste one of the form feeds in the text file I have
into note pad and guess what, book port does recognize the form feed
character as a result of the paste to note pad.
 
I'm selling these form feed characters for $1 per feed.  I'm just
kidding of course, but if anyone wants a file which consists of
nothing but a form feed that they can use, I would be happy to send it
to them as an attachment, off line, of course.
