I think to delete them you first have to find them and then manipulate
the found range a bit, split the table, manipulate the found range a
bit more, then rejoin the table:

Sub ScratchMacro()
Dim i As Long
Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
.Text = Chr(12)
While .Execute
oRng.Select
oRng.MoveEnd wdCharacter, 1
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart
With Selection
.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
.SplitTable
.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
End With
oRng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
End Sub

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

BTW, I can automatically replaceSectionBreak(new page) withSection
Break
(continuous). I highlight the document and then go to Page
Setup/Layout/Sectionstart, change New Page to Continuous, and then click
OK.
Unfortunately, DeleteSectionBreakis not an option.

I can confirm thatsectionbreaks inserted intotablecells may not be
"seen" by Word when performing a Find & Replace in Print Layout view. In
Draft view, I can find thebreakbut 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"sectionbreaks. One row
in a
tableissectionone, the very next row magically becomessection2. I
always
have "display all formatting marks" on, and certainlly know what a
section
breaklooks like. *The tables have no visible borders. *But the border
betweensection1 row andsection2 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 columnbreakbefore
and
after the offending row, delete the row and retype. *Not something I am
enjoying in this 23 page document.

I can't removesectionbreaks either, it's driving me mad!!! All the
help
I
can find on any forum says to switch to Draft View, select thesection
break
and delete it. But I can't select thesectionbreak! 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 newsectionbreak!

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 aresectionbreaks 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 thesectionbreaks

all
over
the place leaving me with very ragged and rambling text. I can
delete the
sectionbreaks one at a time but there are thousands. Can I
delete
them
all
(without deleting the text - done that already!), or align the
text?
