There are 20 special characters listed, but it's not a copyable list. I'll
create a list and send it to the group tomorrow morning when I'm more awake.
Just came back from a very funny, very creative rendition of A Midsummer's
Night's Dream by a local Shakespeare troupe, and I'm really tired.
Good night to all! Carrie

Josh here I use MS Word 2000 and have the same problem.
May I suggest maybe if you could copy that special characters list to an rtf
file and send it out, leaving a couple blank lines between each character that
would work.

In my version of Microsoft Word (MS Word 2002 SP3), if you go to the Find
or Replace command, and click on More, and then click on Special, you can see
the list of special characters it recognizes. Section break is ^b, page break is
^m, and column break is ^n. To change section breaks to page breaks, put ^b in
the From field, ^m in the To field, and click on Global replace. Works every
time for me. What version of Word do you use, Sue? I'm amazed that it doesn't
work for you. Do you get an error message? Sure would be nice if we could
figure this out.

Hi Lisa,
Well, I haven't been able to validate Carrie's submissions because I
thought the code for page breaks was ^m. That did not work, so I have
always had to release them back to Step 1. So the code is really ^n?
Wow!
If that is true, no wonder Word would not replace the section breaks.

Hi, E. and anyone else who needs the info.
Here's what I do using Word 2002.
First, I verify how many section breaks there are because the number of
section breaks should convert exactly to page breaks when the find and
replace is finished. I just use Control+end to go to the end of the file
to
do this.
Then I go to the find and replace dialog with Control+H and type in ^b
(for
those who aren't using their screen reader punctuation, this is karat
plus
the lower case b with no spaces.), in the find box and ^n (karat plus
the
lower case n with no spaces)in the replace box and tab to Replace all
and
press enter. A dialog pops up saying that word has made X replacements.
This is why I check before hand. If the new page breaks are the same as
the
section breaks, I save the file and go on to validating.
Oh, and the karat is made by pressing shift+6 on the numbers row.
Hope this helps.
Lisa
