Are you sure that Word is actually inserting a *page* break, and not a *next
page* section break?

You can usually work around this by changing the type of section after the
break has been inserted. To do that, on the Page Layout tab, click the
dialog launcher (the arrow on the bottom right) of the Page Setup group. On
the Layout tab, change "Section start" to "Continuous."

Hi,

I googled a formating problem I am having in Word 2007 (Vista Biz) and
this
thread came up and I'm hoping it is still alive.

I'm not trying to do anything too complicate but lately, in a large &
growing thesis document, when I attempt to insert a Continous Section
Break
or attempt to make columns in a page, it inserts a page break instead.

The same thing happen a few days ago and a reboot of the computer seemed
to
do the trick but not this time.

Any thoughts?

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?
