A Word page break is a character \n in old DOC file format. Newer Word documents are DOCX files, which are essentially ZIP files containing several xml documents, one of which is called document.xml. This one contains the document text itself. I created a simple document with two lines "AAA" and "BBB" for example. This was the content in the document.xml file: 

<w:body>
- <w:p w:rsidR="00D96BA8" w:rsidRDefault="00D96BA8">
- <w:r>
  <w:t>AAA</w:t> 
  </w:r>
  </w:p>
- <w:p w:rsidR="00D96BA8" w:rsidRDefault="00D96BA8">
- <w:r>
  <w:t>BBB</w:t> 
  </w:r>
  </w:p>
- <w:sectPr w:rsidR="00D96BA8" w:rsidSect="00354B3C">
  <w:pgSz w:w="12240" w:h="15840" /> 
  <w:pgMar w:top="1008" w:right="1008" w:bottom="1008" w:left="1008" w
+:header="720" w:footer="720" w:gutter="0" /> 
  <w:cols w:space="720" /> 
  <w:docGrid w:linePitch="360" /> 
  </w:sectPr>
  </w:body>

and this was the DOC file hex dump somewhere in the middle. I am not going to copy the entire file here. I know, some of you are like "whew!" lol
