Code for section break?

Hello!


What code should I write in "Find and Replace" to select the "section break" invisible characters?


Usually, I write "\n" for paragraphs or "\i" for intros...


Thanks!

Although Pages '09 v4.3 had a Find Advanced tab that allowed you to select a particular search feature (e.g. section break) the newer Pages versions after v5 (Oct 2013) no longer offer that Advanced Find feature and there is no means to locate a section break via the Find panel. It is a manual process by enabling View menu > Show Invisibles and look for this content:



You can then double-click the section break to select it and backspace to remove it.

Hello, TeacherSteveT.


We'd like to start off by providing you a link to the Pages User Guide for Mac. This is the full users guide for Pages on your Mac and has some very helpful information.


For specific information about spacing breaks, see this section: Set pagination and line and page breaks in Pages on Mac. This explains the options for using the pages document to create those breaks for you, without needing to write out code:

    1. For a line break: Click the Insert menu button in the toolbar, then choose Line Break. You can also choose Insert > Line Break.
    2. For a page break: Click the Insert menu button in the toolbar, then choose Page Break. You can also choose Insert > Page Break.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
