Hi Andre,
If it is a manual page break, then ^m (Circumflex m as in mike) is
what you look for. Then replace with ^p (Circumflex p)

On this same note but not perhaps completely duxbury related.
I use a programme called pdf converter professional from Scansoft to
convert pdf files directly into word. What I do find however is that
the
word document has many hard page breaks in it which I would like to
replace
with paragraph symbols. Is there a way to do this in Word?

This has been a long standing issue with Notepad, and unfortunately
can be
tricky to resolve. Because each document can be formatted differently,
it's
almost impossible to write a routine to guarantee correct removal of
the
spurious returns.
Do you by any chance have Word for Windows available to you?
If you do, you can do a search for ^p (that is circumflex letter p as
in
papa) and replace with a space.
However, you do have to be careful where paragraph breaks should be.
In an ideal world, paragraphs should be separated by TWO carriage
returns,
and so first, you search for ^p^p, and replace with say five
asterisks.
Then search for one paragraph mark (^p) and replace with a space.
Finally, search for the five asterisks, and replace with ^p to restore
your
paragraphs.
George.

Using version 10.4. Often, I convert text files into braille. These
files
typically are composed using Notepad and subsequently imported into
DBW for
brailling.
Is there some way to preclude DBTW from beginning a new braille line
when it
encounters a single carriage return/linefeed in the print file? If
not,
using search and replace, how can I substitute a new paragraph
indicator to
replace each occurrence of two carriage returns?
Thanks.
