There are two things you will need to do before deleting the section break.

1. Set the page setup in the section to be the same as the first
section--look in the first section under File Page Setup , on the Margin
tab for the margin settings (Top, Bottom, Right, Left, as well as Header and
Footer) and make them the same in the second section. Also check the
settings on the other tables for any differences and make both sections the
same.

2. Now, using View Header/Footer, first in the header select Same as
previous in the Header/Footer toolbar--this will bring the contents of the
header into the second section; now switch to the footer and do the same
thing.

Once you have the setup of both sections the same, you can delete the
section break and retain the setup of the first section throughout your
document.

I'd suggest that you work with a copy of your original just in case a
setting does not carry through properly.

I have a word document with one section break in it. After the section break,
the headers/footers/borders/margins are quite different to the front part of
the document.

I now want to delete the section break and have the whole document appear
like the first part of the section.

When I now try and delete this section break the whole document reverts to
the settings of the second half of the document and wipes out the first
half's setting.

Does anyone know how I can delete the section break and not loose the
document settings of the first half of the document?
