Did you read the StyleRef article? This clearly shows how you can capture
your Cats, Dogs, and Birds without the need for Section Breaks.
Using functions like StyleRef means that to get different Headers and/or
different Footers you DON'T need a section break.
Continuous Section breaks will not achieve what you are after anyway.
So long as you place a StyleRef field asigned to the appropriate style (for
Cat, Dog,and Bird) in to the Odd Page Header, then these will appear and
change in the Header of the page that sub-section starts/changes.
Hopefully because you wont need continuous section breaks, you wont have the
footnote bug you noticed.
On the style for Cat, Dog, Bird do you have "Page Break Before" as an
attribute? This will ensure at least that they always start on a new page,
not necessarily Odd page though.
Hope this helps

Pam,
Thanks for your response, but I don't believe you've understood the problem
because your solution doesn't work for me. I have different subsections in my
chapter and I want the heading for each subsection in the header. This is not
just the difference between even and odd pages. All the even pages are the
same. That part's easy. But, the odd pages are almost all different. Maybe I
just haven't understood your suggestion properly. I thought the only way to
get the headers to be different like that was to use section breaks.
Anyway, thanks for trying to help!

As far as I know there's no fix for the footnote-section break problem.
Fortunately, you don't need it, and you don't need nearly so many section
breaks because you can use regular page breaks (or include "page break
before" in style settings) when necessary. Use odd an even headers and
one style ref for the odd pages and another for the even.

Thanks for your reply!
The fix re the footnote compatibility option was a suggestion I read on
another community page on this web site.
I'm running Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000). I have XP
Professional 5.6.2600 SP3 Build 2600.
I'm trying to use continuous section breaks so that I can alter the header
information on various pages. For example, my chapter has three major
headings (hypothetically) A. Cats; B. Dogs; C. Birds. On every even page, I
want the header to Read: "Chapter 1." On every odd, page, I want the
appropriate subsection heading (either A, B, or C) to appear in the header. I
thoiught the way to do that was to do a section break, but I don't want the
text to start on a new page. When I insert the "Continuous Section Break,"
however, Word inserts a new page. I understood from another user's comment
that this has something to do with how Word deals with footnotes, i.e., it
doesn't like footnotes from a previous section to appear on the page with
another section, and this could be the cause of my problem.
Unfortunately, my "patch" fix is simply to insert the break (continuous) in
front of the first word that appears on the page. This is the only way I've
been able to avoid the problem. However, if I then insert a new paragraph at
the beginning of the doc, for example, it really screws up the formatting.
Any suggestions?
This sounds weird. Why do you need a section break before a sub-heading?

Does anyone know a more reasonable solution to this problem?
