Default Can't delete section break (next page)

Hi, Bob-

No, that's not working for me either. (That's what I normally try to do.) It
deletes other stuff than the section break!

My problem always occurs in documents where I switch from one column (for
headings) to two columns (for text) using section breaks. Most of the
section breaks are continuous, but sometimes I need to use a section break-
next page, and those are the ones that are so hard to get rid of.

However, I think it's easier to delete in Normal View, not print layout.

Hi Bobbi,

To remove the section break, one method is to be in Print layout view turn
on the nonprinting character display using the show/hide
icon from the toolbar. Place your cursor just before the section break
indicator in your document and tap the delete key twice.

No, it doesn't work. I've had this problem previously. Once you insert a
"section break (next page)" it's almost impossible to get rid of.

Sigh!
