Default unable to select section breaks to delete

If worst comes to worst, you don't need to retype it -- just copy and
paste all the text _except_ the interloping section break(s).

I have the same situation. I have tried all your suggestions and nothing
works. Am unable to highlight the section break or delete it. Very
frustrating. This happens every once in a while and is very hard to fix. I am
not sure how to fix it. I usually just end up retyping the document. How can
I fix this so I do not have to retype the document?

the info in 'help' and in past posts here seems to assume that once you have
'show formatting' turned on, you should be able to just highlight and then
delete a section break, but I simply can't select them. Each section break is
represented by double lines and text that says "Section Break (Next Page)."
Does anyone have any suggestions for deleting these?-
