Default unable to select section breaks to delete

If I do that it deletes the last letter of the word before the section break.
I can't click on the section break itself at all--can't click to the right of
it at all and when I click to the left as you suggested, all it does it
register that I'm trying to manipulate the text before the section break. If
I double click on the text that says 'section break (next page) it just
brings up the page setup pane.

For some reason I am unable to highlight section breaks to delete them...all
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?
