Blank Netta, You have an extra ^p. You only need one before the page break. So in the replace with box it would be ^p^m^p. That way, you have one blank line before the page break, and one after the page break. Sue S.

Although I have never done this per-say; I am still curious about how to do this on a global replace. Would it be ^m in the find box then ^p^p^m^p in the replace box? Someone sent me instructions from Mary on how to insert a blank line before the page break and I am just wondering if the first ^p puts a blank line on the next line and the second ^p puts the page break on the next line with the third ^p put a blank line after the page break? Also please clarify whether or not the page should look like this: blank line page number blank line chapter heading blank line text blank line page break blank line next page or.... is the last blank line the beginning of the next page? So that it is like this blank line page number blank line chapter heading blank line text blank line page break next page blank line and repeat as above Hopefully, this is not muffled and easily explained.
