Oh sorry sorry. That was a typo. I have the email posted in front of
me... I don't want to be a bald validator. That would not be good. I do
it the correct way, just typed it inverted.
Thank you so much Mayrie!!

Hi Devorah,
Please check your above list. If you replace ^m with
^m^p^m, you'll end up with twice as many page breaks as you
need. The proper keystrokes that you need are these: replace ^m with
^p^m^p. What you wrote above will cause you to tear out your hair.
