MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2008Can't delete section break (next page)
Word 2003: How can I delete a "section break (next page)"? It just won't go away? Bobbi Try selecting the previous and following paragraph marks as well, then delete. Does this work?

Once you insert a "section break (next page)" it's almost impossible to get rid of. Sigh! Bobbi > Try selecting the previous and following paragraph marks as well, then > delete. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >> Bobbi Hi Bobbi, To remove the section break, one method is to be in Print layout view turn on the nonprinting character display using the show/hide icon from the toolbar. Place your cursor just before the section break indicator in your document and tap the delete key twice. =============== No, it doesn't work. I've had this problem previously.

Bobbi>>  SignatureBob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Hi, Bob- No, that's not working for me either. (That's what I normally try to do.) It deletes other stuff than the section break! My problem always occurs in documents where I switch from one column (for headings) to two columns (for text) using section breaks. Most of the section breaks are continuous, but sometimes I need to use a section break- next page, and those are the ones that are so hard to get rid of. However, I think it's easier to delete in Normal View, not print layout.

This can cause aggrevation and I have had the same problem in the past. Section Break Continuous is the best option to use for Column format changes, one at start and one at end of the multiple column section (then end one as you probably know helps with balancing the column lengths). Is the Next Page break you wish to delete at the start, middle or end of the multi-column section? Is the NextPage break the one that starts the multi-column section? If so, instead of deleting, have you tried changing the break to a continuous and then use Page Break Before paragraph setting to accomplish the desired effect. DeanH > Hi, Bob- > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > Bobbi>> Hi, Dean- You're right that using Section Break Continuous and then Page Break seems to be the best way to go. But it seems to be easier to delete the Section Break Next Page while in Normal View. However, I'm just not gonna use it any more.
