Here is my problem: I generate some html with tables and images, then a user copies the whole web page and pasts it into word. It all works fine just the page breaks are no longer working/being copied from chrome 50.0.2661.94, I tried the same in firefox and it works fine.

Just a fast example

<h1>Page1</h1>
<br clear="all" style="mso-special-character:line-break;">
<h2>Page2</h2>

Example

When pasting the whole html from firefox it works fine, but chrome just pasts it without the page breaks.

Using this for page breaks in word link

Chrome probably ignores (and actively removes) that style. – GolezTrol May 06 '16 at 12:27
You have to use it with DIV tag, not BR tag as explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1630819/google-chrome-printing-page-breaks – devondre May 06 '16 at 12:28
(I'm using chromium and it works) – Tim B May 06 '16 at 12:28
