My understanding from what others have said on the list is that saving a
file in Word as TXT is what strips Page Breaks. One of the work-arounds
which was mentioned is to immediately convert a TXT file to RTF when opening
it in Word. According to what was said, this will retain the Page Breaks
since Word never gets a chance to use the routine which saves TXT files.

Loading a .txt file into word and saving it as rtf seems to delete all page
breaks from what others have said. I do not know what folks do so page
breaks are saved when trans lating from .txt to .rtf but perhaps someone
else on this list does.
