Default Document Automatically Adding Section After Page 10

In our office, we use page breaks all the time. We make sure not to use section breaks because we need our footers to be the same throughout the document. So we are pretty familiar with them. And we all know about the show/hide feature that lets us see page breaks and other editing marks.
So I KNOW there was no section break in my document today, but no matter what I did it was declaring everything after page 10 as "Section 2". I even took out the page break and STILL everything after page 10 was being declared "Section 2".
I have never had this happen before. How did it happen and how to I make it unhappen in future documents?

Word will insert section breaks for you, if required. This occurs when you
add section-level formatting to a selection (for example, if you change the
number of newspaper columns for selected text).

Section-level formatting includes headers and footers, the options in the
Page Setup dialog box, newspaper columns as well as restart options for page
numbers and footnotes/endnotes.

You mean, I don't have to insert 2x Section Break Continuous before making columns?
Why didn't they tell me that 20 years ago?

If I remember correctly, even Word 97 added the section breaks for us. :-)
