Default replace auto page breaks with section breaks

I understand printer drivers may affect page breaks, so I would love to
know how to take that into account in the macro.

Hi Scott,

A macro can't take account of what a change of printer driver might do after it's been run. The best you could hope for is a process
that deletes the existing page breaks and inserts new ones - but that might compromise whatever other work you've done with your a/b
pagination.

However, from what you've said so far, it seems as if each new page probably begins with a new paragraph. If that is so, the best
solution might be to format the first paragraph on each such page with the 'insert page break before' attribute (see under
Format|Paragraph). Better still, if each such paragraph has a unique style, format that style with the 'insert page break before'
attribute.

Cheers
