There are manual page breaks, and there are continuous section breaks. Since they affect the layout, I think you mean manual page breaks. Use Edit Replace to remove them. Click the More button, then click the Special button and select Manual Page Break from the list. That will insert the code ^m in the Find What box. Leave the Replace With box empty, and click the Replace All button. If you really do mean continuous section breaks, you can choose Section Break from the Special list, which enters the code ^b. However, there's no way to make this code distinguish between continuous section breaks and next-page section breaks; so if you have both kinds, you'll have to use the Find Next and Replace buttons to find each break and decide whether or not to delete it. In the future, if you do want a paragraph to start a new page, use the Format Paragraph dialog, click the Line & Page Breaks tab, and check the box for "Page break before". Manual page breaks should be used only in unusual circumstances, and then only after you finish editing the text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
