I use Alt-012 to enter a formfeed character into the file (I'm using ANSI encoding). I don't know if that gets sent to the printer, but it puts "FF" in white letters over black background into my file, and that is definitely a formfeed character.
You can also open a new document and select the "TextFX > TextFX Tools > Insert Ascii Chart or Character" menuitem to show an ASCII chart, then copy/paste most of the control characters that appear in that document's right-hand column (not NUL, CR, LF, or TAB, though). --Joel
