Hi Judy,
I guess Shelley answered this one. If you use the correct choice for your
.brf file the print page break is denoted by a long line of underline
characters followed by the page number. the page number also has a number
sign leading the digits of the page number.
You should be able to use the line of underline characters as your page
marker. It is at least 30 characters long I believe.
Have fun.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)
