Default "Section Break Before Paragraph" for custom toolbar button

I've found great use for the "Page Break Before Paragraph" command on my
custom toolbar (its ability to insert a break and take it out with the
button), but I need the equivalent for section breaks. Does it exist? (The
All Commands list is too cryptic at times.)

Thanks!

No, there is no "Section break before" option, if that is what you are

Default "Section Break Before Paragraph" for custom toolbar button

A few more words on this topic follows... :-)

Of course, the option to store a section break with a paragraph (style)
would be useful. But it wouldn't be uncomplicated! For one thing, you have
to consider that there are four different kinds of section breaks (next,
continuous, odd, even). In other words, "Section break before" wouldn't
suffice. You would have to have "Next page section break before,"
"Continuous section break before" and so forth.

Also, since a section break stores the section-level formatting of the
*previous* section (a document without section breaks has its section
formatting in the final paragraph mark), I suspect it would lead to a lot of
confusion, because the attribute would modify the layout of the preceding
page(s).

Of course, I'm sure it would be possible to fix all of these potential
problems (perhaps by introducing "section styles" in Word), but I doubt that
we'll see that any time soon.
