Thanks, Greg
Your code worked for me.

Stefan,

Actually on closer look it doesn't need to be so complicated at all. I can
only guess that using the selection is what makes it uncooperative. This
seems to work just fine for all section breaks (in or not in a table):

Sub ScratchMacro()
Dim oRgn As Range
Set oRgn = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRgn.Find
.Text = Chr(12)
While .Execute
oRgn.Delete
oRgn.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
End Sub

Stephan,

Actually it needs a qualifier to keep from tripping up on a break
found outside a 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
If oRng.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
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
Else
oRng.Delete
oRng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
End If
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

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?
