The thing at the top of each page (Word calls it a "header") that has
the title of the book, the title of the chapter, or the author's name,
and the page number, which "run" the same through the whole book or
the whole chapter.

By the way, what's a "running head"?

You can use Find-Replace to remove all the existing section breaks.
Just open the pane (Ctrl-H), go to "More" and then "Special," and
scroll down to "Section Break" (or simply type ^b in the Find box).
Leave the Replace box empty, and click "Replace All."

Then you can follow my instructions for inserting your handful of
section breaks (if every page needs a different running head, you
shouldn't be using running heads in the first place).

It's a poor workman who blames his tools. (There, I've probably run
out of aphorisms.)

I appreciate everyone's suggestions. But I have a 60-page document and
your suggestions will take hours. So much for computers saving us
work!
I also have a 500-page document that will need to be worked on next.
Needless to say, that might take the rest of my life and I'm not
looking
forward to it. My real issue with this is that - according to Word
Help
- it shouldn't be necessary to go through these steps. Their
instructions are much simpler, but they don't work. Why would they
give
advice that doesn't work? I know that hatred isn't productive, but
it's
unavoidable whenever I use this program!
