Tom,
^b isn't a soft page break, but a section break. I've seen FineReader use
them in place of page breaks since they can also indicate a new page. It
depends on how FineReader is configured as to which one it uses, but I don't
know which setting or settings makes the difference.

Dear Gerald, I am much red in the face, and must apologize! I've just
learned that in Office-Word, by using the find and replace function, I can
replace the soft breaks with the hard type by finding a "carrot-lowercase b"
and replacing it with a "carrot lowercase m"
Does the entire document as you must know in the blink of an eye. Again I
apologize.

Lisa,
Bookshare is not accepting books without hard page breaks.

Hi, Grace.
I changed my view from print to normal and the page breaks magically
appeared. Go figure.
The page numbers and headers appear at the top of the page, or just after
word indicates a page break. I will still have to insert page breaks,
though, since there's 682 pages in this book and the last page in Word is
352. I'm thinking the submitter scanned two pages at a time with this one
and didn't insert page breaks as the book was being scanned. I can't really
verify this, though, because the submitter is the everpopular Bookshare.org
Volunteer. <smiles>
Does anyone know if the Bookshare system distinguishes between hard and
soft page breaks, and if it does, which one is preferable?
Thanks for the assistance.
Lisa

Lisa,
When Word says the new page number, is the header with page number on
the first line?
The other thing you could do is to extend the paper size so that Word
does not put in soft page breaks. Also be sure that word is in normal view.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Yet Another Page Break Question
Hi, all. I realize this subject has just about been put through the
ringer, but I'm not sure how to handle this...
I have The Shining by Stephen King downloaded for validation. The
original zip file was in RTF, and I use MS Word as my editor. The file has
page breaks in it, but I don't think these would be considered valid because
Word only indicates I've gone from one page to another, but doesn't say
"Page Break", which is what it usually does with RTF files. Also, if I try
inserting a manual page break, Word still doesn't call it a page break; it
just moves to the next page and tells me it's on a new page. I've tried
saving it as a MS Word document, but I still have this thing with the page
breaks going on.
Also, I have to put in page breaks manually, because the submitter has
two pages of text on what Word considers to be one page, Pages four with a
header and text merges into page five with header and text for example. I
don't mind inserting the page breaks myself, but I need to know if there's a
difference between MS Word displaying a new page and a page break inserted
with the Control+Enter command.
I do apoligize for rehashing this again, and thanks to everyone for
their suggestions.
Lisa
