Re: EdSharp 2.7 and FileDir 3.3 released

Hi Jackie,
You can now search for \f. I think you can also search for \nnn, where nnn
is an ascii character. You can't at this time actually see a page break
character though.

Thanks.

Jim

Hay, Jamal, I'm just curious. Would there be any way in EdSharp to
implement the showing & preserving of page breaks in rtf files? It'd
be great to be able to use this little gem in validating books for
