Actually, I think at least part of that may have come from me, but it works
only in certain specific cases (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/DetachEnvelope.htm) because it doesn't
account for section properties such as columns, header/footer content, etc.

Hi
I think I learned this trick from Jay Freedman (indeed, I thought he'd
written an article about it, but if so, I can't find it).
Go to the section above the section break and do File Page Setup. Click
on
each of the three tabs (I'm not sure this is strictly necessary, but it
can't hurt). Click OK.
Now, go to the last section and press F4. That will repeat all the page
setup commands, thus making the last section set up like your earlier
section. And you can now delete the section break.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I want to delete a section break but retain the formatting as it is
*above* the section break, not below.
In other words, I want to just end the document where the section break
is--no need for anything below that.
But the formatting is a problem as when one deletes a section break, it
usually keeps the formatting that is *below* the break; and I need the
opposite.
Thanks.
