Changing a next page section break to a continuous one in a column
I have a document with some columns in it. Normally, the columns end off
with a continuous section break. Sometimes though, this continuous section break turns into a next page section break and I cant seem to change it back to a continuous one (Ive been able to do it in the past but by total accident €“ I think I may have played around with putting in a page break and somehow it ended up working, but Im not sure how and would like to understand why its behaving this way). Does anyone have any explanations and/or workarounds for this? |

Changing a next page section break to a continuous one in a column
I've seen that happen a couple of times lately when I copied and pasted text
containing columns. I never have any problem putting the insertion mark in the single-column section following the columns, going to the Layout tab of Page Setup, and changing the section start type back to Continuous. -- Suzanne S.

Changing a next page section break to a continuous one in a column
I am having the opposite problem. I have been using the Insert Section Break
function and selecting "Next Page," but the result is a "Continuous" section break... and I cannot seem to get it to work properly anywhere in the document. I even go into the Section properties dialogue box and change it from Continuous to Next Page, but as soon as the box closes-- Voila!-- it's a Continuous break again. I assume this is poor quality control and not a secret conflict between two Word functions, but the knowledge base doesn't seem to address it. If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know. |
