Hmmmm. I'm not sure I follow, but I ended up rejecting this particular book
anyway.  It just had too many other problems and I couldn't contact its
submitter.

When I had JAWS read along reading through the whole document, it read page
number changes as if there were page breaks there, but when I went
character-by-character or word-by-word, it was as if there were no page
breaks at all.  I had Claire look at it and she said there really were no
hard page breaks.  But I knew there was at least something in the document
because it had some sort of indicator.  I thought I'd post and see if there
was anything I could do.  But alas the book wasn't fixable.  Oh well.  I've
moved onto a new one.

Hi Allison,

You've highlighted a major flaw with the terminology soft page breaks and
hard page breaks. There's really just a page break, which is often called
a hard page break.

So called "soft" page breaks are those introduced by editing software when
there is too much text for a single page. Programs like Microsoft Word
assume you want to print everything. "Soft" page breaks will of course
change based on paper size. More information can fit on a 11x14 page
rather than an 8.5x11 piece of paper.

So in short, no if you've truly got "soft" page breaks, there's no way to
"replace" them because they don't really exist in the document, just as
part of the rendering done by the software.

Clear as mud? smile.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to change soft page breaks into hard page breaks?  I
have a book that has only soft breaks and I was wondering if there was
some sort of find and replace command for this I didn't know.  I'm hoping
anyway. Putting in all page breaks by hand isn't very fun.

Thanks!
