Default replace manual page breaks WITH section breaks

Hello everyone -- There is no problem searching FOR section breaks and
replacing them WITH something else, but there seems to be no way to do the
reverse -- there is no Section Break choice in the Replace With pop-up
window. Typing in ^b just produces an error.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you all,
-Lynne

Good find. I usually resort to using vba to do it. The reason of course
that you cannot use ^b is because of the several types of breaks that are
available and ^b is not specific enough.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my

If he hadn't found the KB article, I was going to recommend the same
procedure. We tend to forget how useful ^c can be.
