Removing Page Breaks In Word

[nowhere121]

Hi,
I have a very long document (around 400 pages), and I want to take
out all the manual page breaks. Is there an automatic way to do this?
I don't want to have to go through the entire document and remove them
manually.


Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt, you can run a Find and Replace to find all the manual page breaks
and replace them with nothing. Click on More..., then Special (cursor in
Find) and it will give you a list of special types you can search for and
insert the proper code in the Find box. Next time, you can type the code if
you remember it.

Leave the Replace box blank to replace with nothing.

If you have to do this frequently, you can attach this macro to a
keyboard shortcut or toolbar button (I use it as part of my "tear down"
macro where I remove manual breaks, direct formatting, blank paragraphs,
etc):

Public Sub DeleteManualBreaks()
With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = "^m"
With .Replacement
.ClearFormatting
.Text = ""
End With
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub
