Any way I can replace a text with page break?

I have a Pages document and there's a special text I inserted in places where page breaks are needed, when I finished writing I'd like to replace all occurrences of that text with page breaks, but in Find & Replace dialog, how do I enter the page break?

Thanks!

Select the special text string, and from the Edit menu > Find > Use selection for Find. Open the Find/Replace dialog. In the Replace field, enter \p which will replace your special text string with a page break. Click the right arrow button once to find the first special string, and then click Replace All. In your case, the ### sequence would be the string special string.



Tested: macOS 11.5.2 and Pages v11.1.
