Netta and Martie, If the page break is right after the last character, not on the next line you would want to replace with ^p^p^m. The first caret+p places the page break on a new line. The second caret+p will add the blank line. Lori C.

Before you try this, copy the text of the book into another file just in case. I think: In the find box type ^m In the replace box type ^p^m go to and hit replace all. I think that will put a blank line before each page break. HTH!

Here's what I mean. The end of the text of the book is followed directly by the page break. Looking like this: The cat sat on the counter as Craig prepared oatmeal.pagebreak There is not the needed blank line nor space after the period at the end of the line. So, other than going through page by page, is there some way to insert a space or blank line after the end of the text. Thanks, (if this isn't explained well enough, please let me know. Again, thanks... Netta "Just because you are blind does not mean you lack vision"-Stevie Wonder
