Sarah, I have a call into K to request the info. If the feature is not
available, I will suggest it.

[bksvol-discuss] Re: Headers
Do you know if there is a way to type a character to represent a page
break
in the Kurzweil search dialog? i have looked for such a thing in the
manual, but I didn't find it. I can only find directions for finding new
line and tab characters. It would greatly reduce the work involved in
removing those headers semi-manually if that were possible, and now I know
that manual, or semi-manual, removal seems to be the only alternative.
