Feature Request: Paged Section Text Editing in Cost Volume Profit

Summary:
Enable users working in the Cost Volume Profit section view to read and edit long text in a paged format. This would break large sections of content into logical pages, making it easier to navigate, review, and update complex cost volume narratives.

Problem Statement:
Currently, users editing text within the Cost Volume Profit section view must work in a single continuous block of text. This makes long sections hard to scan and navigate, increases the risk of missing required updates, and creates cognitive overload for users who need to manage structured content such as volumes, sections, and subsections. The lack of paging also makes it difficult to align edits with page-based output requirements (e.g., customer templates or proposal volumes).

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a paged text-editing mode within the Cost Volume Profit section view that:

• Displays section content as discrete pages with clear page boundaries.

• Allows users to move between pages (next/previous, jump to page) without leaving the section view.

• Supports full text editing on each page (insert, delete, format) while maintaining overall section structure.

• Automatically reflows text across pages as edits are made, keeping pagination accurate.

• Optionally displays page indicators (e.g., page count, current page number) and character/word counts per page to help meet page-limited requirements.

• Preserves compatibility with existing section data and exports so that no content or structure is lost when enabling paged mode.

Benefits:

• Improves readability and navigation for long Cost Volume Profit sections.

• Reduces editing errors by aligning work with page-based deliverable requirements.

• Speeds up review cycles by making it easier to locate and focus on specific pages or portions of content.

• Enhances user confidence and satisfaction when working on complex, structured proposal content.
