Removing PAGE BREAKS

50Twuncle

I have a 230 page document with 230 page breaks - is there any way to remove all page breaks in one hit ?
I am using Office 2013
The document has embedded graphics all over the place - so exporting to TXT and back to word doc will not help....

Kutools for Word claims to be able to do this and has a 45 day free trial.

Find and replace, special characters?

PS, be aware that removing page beaks in a document heavy with images may mean those images don't end up where you think they should - for instance if they are anchored to a page instead of on the text flow, etc. Does seem very odd to have 200+ manual page beaks though, it's either very cleverly put together document, or whoever did doesn't really understand word processors.

Can't you just use Word's normal Search and Replace?
Ctrl-H to bring up the Search and Replace box, show More if it isn't already, then click Special, then Manual Page Break. (Which will insert a ^m in the 'Find' box).
Then replace it with nothing.

Edit: Too slow - beaten to it!
