Insert Section Break in RTF?

[Diane Yocom]

I realize this may not be the best place to post this, but I was at a loss
as to where to go, so...

I'm trying to merge two separate RTF files (created in Word) into one Word
document. I'd like to put a "next page" section break between each document
so that headers and footers can differ between sections. I've got the
documents merging, but I can't seem to figure out how to insert the section
break. Can anyone help?

You might want to try a Word newsgroup. The key is that you need to figure
out the code for a section break, not the ASP code to insert it.

Thanks for the response.

I had actually found the following command: \sect\sectd\sbkpage to insert a
next page section, but when I insert it, it doesn't reset the header and
footer, so I was figuring I did something wrong. Does there need to be a
group delimiter around the section and the text in that section?

I.e., {\sect\sectd\sbkpage blah blah blah, here's my text}

I'll forward there too. Didn't figure a Word group was necessarily a sure
thing, since RTF isn't solely a Word standard.

Thanks,

I downloaded the RTF spec from MS some time ago and quickly got tired of
trying to trying to understand it. It sounds gash - but the best approach
I've found is to generate and save one document, make the change you
require, save the new file, and then diff them (normally this is a manual
process) to spot the changes. Normally a certain amount of artistic license
(and trial and error) is required to interpret and clean up what you see.
