CARET CODE FOR SECTION BRAKE NEXT PAGE

I was trying to format a document using "search and replace", however when trying to replace "section brake next page" I find out that is not listed and I was not able to find the caret code after googling it. Can someone please help?

    JulianAguilar Assuming that you want to replace manual page breaks with Next Page Section Breaks, you will need to use code such as

    With Selection
    .HomeKey wdStory
    With .Find
    Do While .Execute(FindText:="^m", Forward:=True, MatchWildcards:=False, Wrap:=wdFindStop) = True
        ActiveDocument.Sections.Add Selection.Range
        Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
        Selection.MoveStart wdCharacter, -1
        Selection.Delete
    Loop
    End With
End With

    **bleep**
