That is a very bizzare behavior. I just tried in my word pad, and it does not do that at all. However, it does default when I delete all text on the page. The behaviour you describe should not be happening. You may want to try the knowledge base at Microsoft.com. I have never had a lot of success getting help there. I doubt if there is any support at all for the program either, since it is what is known as a "value added" program. In other words your lucky to have it at all because it's free.

I would reccomend Googling "free word processing programs". There's bound to be something better than wordpad out there. I've never found it very useful myself, but I use Word.

I have an RTF file that contains a list of form letters. Between each form letter is a '|'. Is there a way that I could replace the '|' with a page break?

I have "A" disks with information on them typed in Microsoft Word in the mid-90's. I believe they were saved in notepad, but when I open them, it looks like "foreign language". There doesn't seem to be any indication they are document or text files.
