That would proably work. Not sure it would be worth the trouble of
creating/invoking a macro - but I'lll give it some thought. Changeable
defaults would be nice.

Can the default for new section headers and footers be changed to be *not*
'Same as previous'? (I know how to turn 'Same as Previous' off once the
section is created - how do I change the default for newly created
sections?)
