Default Section breaks and repagination

A corrupted document can be mind-boggling, indeed. Not sure if I can
help you, but here is what you could try.
Open a new document and insert the section breaks according to your
needs. Copy the text from the section from yr original document, but
-importantly - copy it WITHOUT the final paragraph mark in the
section. (Make sure you show the non-printable characters ON). In the
last paragraph mark Word stores characteristics of the section "under
water". Repeat this for every section. Chances are you left yr
document corruption behind then.... HTH, GL, Henk

thanks for the reply, sorry it's taken a while to respond, I've been
without Internet access for the last couple of days :-(

I've managed to solve the problem (I hope) by doing a variant of your
suggestion (In fact I recreated all the portrait stuff from scratch,
leaving the landscape stuff as it was). Today I'll try adding some more
portrait sections at the end just to make sure I've lost the corruption.

Many thanks to all

Rick.
