I work with multi-chapter documents. I need a way to search/replace manual
page breaks with section breaks, but do not find the option to put in a
section break (I'd prefer a section break of the type starting next page). Is
there a work around?

Similarly, in a long multi-chapter document I'd like to be able to select
all headers/footers in a single operation and link them to the previous, so
header/footer in the first chapter flows through the entire manuscript. I
insert a field code for section number, so use this to get the
chapter(section number) in the footer. I'm working with pre-existing
documents.

Then this brings up another similar question: As there are prepages, I'd
like the chapter number to be shown in the footer to be the section number
minus one. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

I had WordPerfect set up to do all this and more, but now need to get Word
2003 to emulate it. Thanks very much.
