Windows 10: How do I create a page break in a Notepad doc I am creating?

Need to know how to create a page break in a Notepad doc I am creating. Everytime I search on how to do this I get instructions for MS Word NOT Notepad.

page break in regular text files (notepad)

Yes (sort of). The page break character is 012 (0C hex). This can be inserted in Notepad++ using the Alt+012 numeric keypad method, or from its character panel. When saved as a .txt file Notepad will open it, display the page break character as

and will preserve it when saving from Notepad. But printing from Notepad will not start a new page at the FF, it will print it exactly as displayed in Notepad, all on one page with the

character at each page break.


The one thing you cannot do in Notepad is insert a page break using the Alt + numeric key pad method. You can insert other characters such as 013 for a new line, but Notepad rejects Alt+012 as an illegal character. You can however copy it from an existing text document and paste it into Notepad.

So yes, Notepad respect it if the FF already exists, but it's a pain to create a new FF using just Notepad.

Notepad does not seem to provide functions such as page breaks and separators.

Notepad cannot insert page breaks and does not support displaying page breaks.
