Default remove all section breaks quickly?

See if http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm applies.

I can't remove section breaks either, it's driving me mad!!! All the help I
can find on any forum says to switch to Draft View, select the section
break
and delete it. But I can't select the section break! It's a black line,
the
mouse becomes a double line with an arrow pointing up and another pointing
down. It can't be deleted. If I delete the space before it the paragraphs
merge, tapping enter creates a new section break!

I can't believe how un-userfriendly Office 2007 is, I was a pro of 2003
and
I feel stupid when using 2007: everything is hidden, complex and follows a
totally absurd logic... Has this version been user-tested for acceptance
at
all??!

Are you sure there are section breaks in the document? What displays if
you
show nonprinting marks? Note that you may find it easier to work with the
breaks in Draft view.

Did you ever figure out how to delete the sections breaks? I have a
document
and cannot find them even when I do a search for them with the ^b. I
have
recently upgraded to 2007 and I can't figure out how to remove this
section
break! It's driving me crazy!! Kim

the
section breaks one at a time but there are thousands. Can I delete
them
all
(without deleting the text - done that already!), or align the text?
Thanks.
