Hi Lori,

        I'm not Jackie, but you can customize your paper size  and see if it
helps.  Here's what you do:
Open your document
In the file menu find page set up and hit enter.
Control tab once and it should say paper size
You'll be in a list of paper sizes.  Custom is at the bottom of the list
Tab to height and enter something big, like maybe 20 inches
Hit enter and see if that removes the soft page breaks.

Hope that helps.

Mayrie

Hi, Jackie,

I deleted the .doc file I had been working on and used the zip file again. 
I changed the font to times new Roman the size to .11 and changed the 
margins to one inch or left and right.  I got the page count down from 170 
to 138, but the book has 89 pages.

I guess I can leave the soft page breaks in, but just don't like having them

there.

What do you think?  Is there anything else I can do to remove them?

Thanks.

Lori
