Can't delete section break (next page)
Try selecting the previous and following paragraph marks as well, then delete.

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! Bobbi "DeanH" wrote in message ... Try selecting the previous and following paragraph marks as well, then delete.

Can't delete section break (next page)
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. =============== "Bobbi" wrote in message ... No, it doesn't work.

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. Bobbi "Bob Buckland ?:-)" 75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com wrote in message ...

Can't delete section break (next page)
Now I understand, this in relation to a Multi-Column format.
This can cause aggrevation and I have had the same problem in the past. Section Break Continuous is the best option to use for Column format changes, one at start and one at end of the multiple column section (then end one as you probably know helps with balancing the column lengths). Is the Next Page break you wish to delete at the start, middle or end of the multi-column section? Is the NextPage break the one that starts the multi-column section? If so, instead of deleting, have you tried changing the break to a continuous and then use Page Break Before paragraph setting to accomplish the desired effect.

I highlighted and pressed the delete button TWICE, quickly, and it finally worked. Only post that has helped! My thesis project thanks you.
