You can also search for page breaks to use them in search and replace
operations, but it takes a little effort. First
you may want to go in to the options dialog on the tools menu in Word. In
the view tab there are a bunch of checkboxes for telling Word what kind of
normally hidden characters you would like to see. Page break is one of
these. just check it's box.
Now that you have done that, you can use the find dialog to find page
breaks. Hit control-f to open the find dialog or control-h to get find and
replace. You need to activate the more button so you can search for special
characters. When more is active, there will be a less button instead of a
more button. Tab through the box until you find a checkbox for wildcard
characters and check it. You can then type ^m in to the edit to represent a
page break
character, or you can choose that character from the last dropdown list in
the dialog.
Hope this helps.
