Out of curiosity, did you try using vo to look for your inserted page breaks?

I think that's the thing I find most odd. I only tested with two different documents, but it behaved differently in each. The other thing I noticed is that I tried inserting page breaks directly while in Text Edit, and when I used FN-Shift arrow it just zoomed right past them like they weren't even
there.

Perhaps but in that case, it wouldn't honor my page numbers.

Oh, I think there's an explanation too.  As I said, I think TxtEdit is
using
the pre-set page size rather than the breaks.

in my doc file, it moved through hard pages.  I know becaue I created
the document and know where the page breaks are.  I don't know how
this works over all because I didn't do extensive testing but I'm
sure
there's an explanation.

Hi all,

Be very careful with this.  On my Mac, it does not work as David
describes.

David's option number 2 doesn't work at all.

Option number 1, the non-VO option does work, but it doesn't move you
according to page breaks.  In the RTF file I worked with, it moved me
two
pages at a time.  In the Word Doc I tried this with, it seemed to
move
about
one-and-a-half or one-and-a-quarter pages at a time.  My guess here
is
that
it thinks it's moving by page, but it's gauging not according to
where
page-breaks are, but rather according to the page size set in Text
Edit
preferences.
Best,
Donna

all;

There are two ways to determine where a page break occurs in a
document using text edit.  One is with and the other is without vo.
1> if you use a notebook, press fn-shift-down arrow to go from page
to
hage.  This is the non vo approach.
2> using vo: press control-option-fn-shift-down arrow or lock the vo
keys and press fn-shift-down arrow.  both work like a charm.

I tested this with a word .97 document.
