Hi Yepp,

I am inserting subdocuments (other word documents) From the
instructions on the Help menu, it says

"Microsoft Word inserts a next page section break before the
subdocument and a continuous section break after it."

Since MS inserts these page breaks, maybe that is why I cannot delete
them??

Well, *I* can delete them, so that's not the issue...

Best guess, in this case, is that the file structure has been damaged -
not so unusual for a Master Document (which is why one discourages
their use).

If you start over with a new Master document and insert a couple of
documents can you delete these section breaks?

And, I'll come back again to a question I asked right at the beginning
of this discussion: Are you absolutely sure the customer wants to use
this feature? WHY does he insist on it? What does it offer him that's
not otherwise available? How is he planning to use it?
