That's what happens in this particular book. If I replace section breaks with 
page breaks then the book has an increased number of pages.

I guess I should get the book approve and hope for the best when it converts to 
daisy.

I can't clean it up because it just too cumbersome using Word. I can't use 
K1000 because there goes all section breaks. 
That's why I released a while ago. But since no one has taken it I feel like I 
should do something with it.

  Hi All Have been trying to chase this one down for some time, have a software 
engineer working on it , well part-time, as his time permits. Word recognizes 
three different section-breaks, and have looked at the ascii output, but found 
no difference yet. This is of  particular importance for Fine Reader users, 
since when translated all section-breaks look like page-breaks, and a 
four-hundred page book becomes sometimes, five-hundred pages or more. Tom

    Haven't a clue what the difference is.

     

    Sorry,

    This list is great. Thanks Gerald.

     

    Now I have another question.

    What's the difference between section break and continuous section break? I 
didn't see a code for continuous section break on this list.

     

    There's a book languishing on step 1 that has strange formatting. It also 
has column breaks, I replaced those with nothing but I don't know what to do 
about these pesky continuous section breaks. 

     

    The book is called essentials of corporate finance, if anyone wants to look 
at it. It's been there for quite a while.

      Hi,

       

      I thought it might be a good idea to list common format characters as a 
single tip on Jake's site (i.e. ^l hard return and ^p paragraph marker. Is 
there a list in microsoft word help files, or will I have to trust my less-than 
perfect computer knowledge? Thanks.
