Microsoft Word Page Break

Post by nexterday »

Hi all, i'm new here, but i've been looking for a while (with my poor searching skills) for the answer to my question, and to no avail.

im looking for a way to have the ability to copy selected text from a browser, and paste it into MS Word, and have it insert page breaks where i want them. I tried copying the page break character (which im not sure exactly exisits) from word and pasting it into a var (it looked liked 2 line breaks...it was.) but that didn't work. any help on this topic is greatly appriciated. thanks

Looks like you're mixing up something. There is no such thing as a page break in (x)html. If a single page contains more information than the browser window can display, the browser will use scrollbars (in most cases).

right, i know that browsers implement scroll bars, but in MS Word, which im trying to paste into, it uses page breaks (in a document). What im trying to do is have a way to copy the text out of the browser (which will just be a continous trail of text as you said) but when i paste it into MS Word, it will have page breaks where i want.
