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

Haven't a clue what the difference is.
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.
