Hi *,
78650 and the specs tell that Soft page breaks are useful for : " ...
the purposes of consistent page breaks and for proper conversion to
digital talking book formats"
The latter I understand. But what is meant with "of consistent page
breaks " ?
if you open a document with. let's say 700 pages on different computers,
you may get inconsistent page breaks, i.e. on your Solaris machine you
may get 710 pages, on your Mac maybe only 695. This can be caused by
different installed fonts with results in different line breaks and page
breaks.
The soft page break information _could_ be used by applications to
create the same number of pages with the same content. But this
application will have to do some work, if the content does not fit into
the page, e.g. shrink the font size or grow the page size.
It's only a possibility, currently there are no plans for e.g. the OOo
word processor to use this information for formatting.
I could imagine of a completely different application (e.g. a
presentation or drawing application) which uses this soft page breaks to
import a text document.

Andreas
