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.

So my question is: Can you insert page breaks in a text file that is readable with Notepad and printable whilst respecting those page breaks.

The breaks only need to be respected when printed, not in Notepad itself.
I'm not asking how to do the same in Wordpad or Notepad++, the question relates to pure text files and their usage in Notepad

I used both to test, Notepad++ to actually create a text file with a page break in it (near-impossible in Notepad) then Notepad to edit, save and print it. My screenshot showed the same file open in both Notepad++ and Notepad.
