Once I changed the paper size to Legal, those extra soft page breaks
disappear and I'm left with only the hard ones.
I'm not sure about this but I think it's a way to view the document but
that the soft page breaks aren't real-if you printed out the document, I
suspect the soft page breaks wouldn't move the text to the next physical
page.
The hard breaks should stay. You can do a search for them, if you want to
make sure they're there, by hitting the controll key and h in word and
typing in ^m That stands for a hard page break. You don't want to
actually replace them with anything but it will show you where they all
are.
I hope I haven't made things more confusing for you.

Christina,
A soft page break is when Word or whatever program you're using
automatically runs over to the next page.
By That, do you mean that everything is on a page except for a word or 2?
To correct that, you lengthen the page so it sucks up the overage words
and includes them on the prior page If you save it like that, then the
soft break will be gone because there aren't any overflow words anymore.
I think if you were to then save that page, them you would not be
bothered by soft page breaks anymore. Should you leave the paper set at
legal as you review thru the bbook?
To correct this in Word, you go
to Page Setup which is in the File menu and then hit control tab until
you
get to the paper tab. You can then select the paper size as Legal which
should get rid of those random soft page breaks. (Thanks to Jamie for
this
tip.)
Hard page breaks are what I think of as real page breaks. They're the
actual pages in the book and should correspond with the print copy.
There's an actual character in the file that tells it that a new page is
starting.
Does that help? Ywes, thank you.
But what must be done to save the 'har' d pagebreaks?
Thanks,
Nancy
