Hi Grace , May I encourage you to go through it page by page and if there is no
page number delete the page-break. Fine Reader will often produce multiple
page-breaks, rather I should say section-breaks after pictures especially the
little geegaws that are at the beginning of the chapters. Or just look for the
ones that announce section-break continuous and delete those. I know it ain't
fun but it do the job!Good Luck, Tom

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.
Grace

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

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.
