Hi Valerie, I noticed that you said you are trying to exactly replicate how the book looks physically. smile.
However, if you have a page in the book that has columns of text, it isn't best to make the page physically appear in the rtffile as it does on the printed page. While that works great for us sighted folks, my understanding is that columns like this don't translate well into Braille.
Here's what I do instead: 1. change the page length for the entire book to the maximum that Word allows (which is 22 inches). 2. Change the columns so that instead of it being two (or three) side by side columns of text it turns into one long continuous column on the one page. I hope what I'm explaining makes sense! smile.

There was one page with a section break; it had a full page title followed by two columns of other titles by author. Are you saying somehow it changed all my page breaks to section breaks? Oh, nightmares! I am *so* sorry! I only used one section break and that was so the one page would appear right. I used page break inset for all the others. I guess I will have to show formatting next time, but that has never been an issue in my older versions of Word. I am more than a little annoyed at myself as I am a perfectionist to the extreme; just ask my honey...Valerie-----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss- bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ann Parsons Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 12:43 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] section breaks Hi all, I'm proofing a book in Word, and it seems to have section breaks in stead of page breaks. Would somebody look this command set over and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I wand to find ^b right? I want to replace with: ^p^m^p right? Thanks, Ann P. -- Ann K.
