This sounds weird. Why do you need a section break before a sub-heading?
What has an obscure Footnote compatibility option got to do with the need
for the section breaks? Please explain what you are trying to achieve, Also
which version of Word and OS and are they fully patched up to date?

A chapter in the book I'm writing has subheadings which need to be
continuous
page breaks. When I insert a continuous page break, Word inserts a new
page.

I tried changing the settings in "Word Options" to "Lay out footnotes like
Word 6.x", but that only made the problem worse.

The only way I've managed to fix the problem is to insert the continuous
section break in front of the first word at the top of the page. The
problem
is that if I further edit the document and insert earlier material, it
moves
all of the information following the continuous section break to a new
page.
This creates split paragraphs.

Does anyone know a more reasonable solution to this problem?
