There are no workarounds or fixes available (yet), as far as I know. :-(

I too can confirm that in Word 2002 SP3 I cannot use Find and Replace to
delete Section Breaks in a table. I can find 'em, but I can't replace 'em
automatically. I just finished manually deleting 85 Section Breaks. I hope
Microsoft, or someone, creates a fix or a workaround for this problem.

BTW, I can automatically replace Section Break (new page) with Section
Break
(continuous). I highlight the document and then go to Page
Setup/Layout/Section start, change New Page to Continuous, and then click
OK.
Unfortunately, Delete Section Break is not an option.

I can confirm that section breaks inserted into table cells may not be
"seen" by Word when performing a Find & Replace in Print Layout view. In
Draft view, I can find the break but I cannot delete it by replacing with
nothing. Instead, a manual deletion is required. This definitely seems
like
a bug.

I also am having trouble deleting the "hidden" section breaks. One row
in a
table is section one, the very next row magically becomes section 2. I
always
have "display all formatting marks" on, and certainlly know what a
section
break looks like. The tables have no visible borders. But the border
between section 1 row and section 2 row has a slightly darker and
heavier
dotted line. I have found the only way to get rid of the mystery
section
breaks (which do not come up on "find"), is to do a column break before
and
after the offending row, delete the row and retype. Not something I am
enjoying in this 23 page document.

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

I copied an Adobe document into Word and now the section breaks
are
all
over
the place leaving me with very ragged and rambling text. I can
delete 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.
