...that apparently has "invisible" section breaks. Scrolling through the
doument, with Show/Hide turned on, I can see a Next Page Section Break near
the beginning of the doument: Section 1 to Section 2 as expected. The
document then apparently goes straight to Section 8 - with no Section breaks
visible at all. Any explanations/ideas/solutions would be greatly
appreciated. It doesn't affect the appearance of the doument BTW...

Thanks in advance
Amanda

It's easier to see section breaks in Normal view. Sometimes there can be
several piled up in one place (I've seen some astonishing documents in this
regard). You can also use Browse by Section to ferret them out.

Thanks for the tip Suzanne - using Normal View certainly helped me find one
stray Continuous Section Break that shouldn't have been there. Browse by
Section doesn't seem to find the "invisible" sections 3, 4 and 5 but in a
strange way, I've learned to live with them: after all, they aren't mine!

Thanks for your help
Amanda
