How can I delete Hidden Section Breaks in WORD 2002?
I have a 14 page document that has 14 sections in it. I can move the cursor
inside a of a single word and one letter is in Section 1 and the next letter is in section 2. I do a FIND on Sections and it returns nothing. I am revealing all formatting codes and there is nothing there. I want the 14 page document to be 1 section. This might have been created under WORD 97 or the next one. NOT WORD 2002. Any ideas |

How can I delete Hidden Section Breaks in WORD 2002?
I haven't ever seen a hidden section break that didn't appear with the Show¶
option turned on, so I'm just guessing. Try this: Select the word that seems to have the section break in it. Copy the word. Then, while the word is still selected, use "Paste Special" to paste the word over your selection as "Unformatted text." If the section break actually is within the word, that "should" delete it (I think). Please let me know if this works.

How can I delete Hidden Section Breaks in WORD 2002?
FWIW, section breaks are usually easier to spot in Normal view.

I am looking for a way, in my template, to make it so that a user cannot delete certain section breaks. Because when they delete those breaks, stuff disappears or changes and most of the users get turned around when that happens. So if there is there some way to lock or hide a section break, I definitely want to know about it...? |

How can I delete Hidden Section Breaks in WORD 2002?
Fred,
That did it. The section break is now gone. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I sent this document home where I use Office 2000 and the break did not "appear ". I also tried a machine with OFFICE 2003 on it and the 'hidden' break was there (before your fix). It seems to be a new "feature" from 2000 to XP.

You should also be able to find section breaks by using Find: ^b or Browse
by Section in the object browser. -- Suzanne S.

I tried finding section breaks ^b but it said there were none even though I

How can I delete Hidden Section Breaks in WORD 2002?
The breaks were never viewable. I tried all views plus many other things.
Paste Special is the only thing that has helped. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: FWIW, section breaks are usually easier to spot in Normal view. -- Suzanne S.

How can I delete Hidden Section Breaks in WORD 2002?
I have the same problem with invisible sections that finding ^b doesn't
reveal; however Paste Special doesn't seem to work so much as push the hidden section break down to the end of the unformatted text. I have no idea what could be causing this, any help? |

Have you tried -- select all tools font view HIDDEN TEXT; then
^b to find and replace the hidden breaks? ` Lady Dungeness Crabby, but Delicious! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Fri, 27 Jul 2007 09:26:03 -0700, dpc8500 wrote: |I have the same problem with invisible sections that finding ^b doesn't |reveal; however Paste Special doesn't seem to work so much as push the hidden |section break down to the end of the unformatted text.

Word 2003 hidden section breaks
Hi, the solution given by Idaho Word Man worked great for me too to delete
some mysterious hidden section breaks. & I had another corruption with the header/footer in the same file that I fixed with a combination of that fix and by an application error recovery. Weird stuff, but it's fixed now, to my relief. Note that the hidden section break problem is as Glenn Martinsen said--the section breaks are NOT visible in Normal view with hidden text viewable, paragraph marks, and all. You probalby know that now, 2 years later. It must happen to other people. Thanks for the help. You all are great. I do hope you get paid, but if you don't, I can tell you that I do volunteer work too -- but not like this! With animals--very stressful. Thank you. Natelle San Diego |
