Hi Gerald and Amy,

Kurzweil represents a page break as \p in find/replace operations.

  Amy,

   

  A Page Break is a special character which specifies the point where one page 
ends and another begins.  It's similar to the Paragraph Marker in Word (^p) and 
the New Line character in K-1000 (\n).  Both the ^p and \n characters specify 
the point where one paragraph ends and another begins.

   

  I don't believe K-1000 has a character string to specify a Page Break, but 
Word uses the ^m to specify a Page Break when doing search and replaces.  Maybe 
someone else can confirm that K-1000 doesn't or explain how K-1000 represents 
it in search and replaces.

   

  This special character is what the list refers to as a Hard Page Break.  
You'll also hear the list mentioning Soft Page Breaks, which isn't actually a 
Page Break character, but where one is assumed to be because there isn't any 
room left on the page, and the text must overflow to the next page even though 
a Page Break character hasn't been encountered to cause the new text to appear 
on the next page.

   

  HTH

  Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Page Breaks

   

  Please forgive my ignorance but when you talk about page breaks do you mean 
the point where one page ends and another begins or am I missing something. I 
have only scanned two books but the setting for the one was two pages as that 
is what I scanned  together and the other one I set at one page because I that 
is how many I scanned at a time even though I had to reset the "settings" every 
time I opened the file as I did not know how to get the settings to stay the 
same every time I opened the file. Now I am not trying to be "cute" or playing 
stupid but all this discussion has gotten me confused.  What exactly is meant 
by a page break ?
