Hi Scott,

What you're asking can be done in code, but you could just as easily insert hard page breaks instead.

There is a fundamental flaw with what you're asking, however, in that what constitutes a page in Word largely depends on the printer
driver being used - quite apart from mundane things like paper sizes & margins. So, simply changing the printer driver's
configuration or attaching a different printer to the document can change where the automatic page breaks would occur. You could
very easily find yourself in the situation where you've set you hard page breaks or section breaks and have a change of printer
leave all of those as the first line on the next page ...

Do you *really* want to do this?

Cheers

I have created a huge (20+MB) baseline document with automatic page breaks. I
now need to convert all those automatic page breaks to next-page section
breaks so that I can edit each page independent of the rest of the pages.
That is, if I need to add text to page 120 in the middle of the doc, I can't
let the text roll on page 121 - those pages need to be kept unchanged. (If
the additional text rolls onto a new page, it will be numbered something like
120a, 120b, etc.)

Is there an automatic way to do that? Find/Replace doesn't look promising. I
hope somebody already has a macro out there to do this sort of thing ...
