Hi, Dean-

You're right that using Section Break Continuous and then Page Break seems
to be the best way to go. But it seems to be easier to delete the Section
Break Next Page while in Normal View. However, I'm just not gonna use it any
more.

Now I understand, this in relation to a Multi-Column format.
This can cause aggrevation and I have had the same problem in the past.
Section Break Continuous is the best option to use for Column format
changes, one at start and one at end of the multiple column section (then
end
one as you probably know helps with balancing the column lengths).
Is the Next Page break you wish to delete at the start, middle or end of
the
multi-column section?
Is the NextPage break the one that starts the multi-column section?
If so, instead of deleting, have you tried changing the break to a
continuous and then use Page Break Before paragraph setting to accomplish
the
desired effect.

No, that's not working for me either. (That's what I normally try to do.)
It
deletes other stuff than the section break!

My problem always occurs in documents where I switch from one column (for
headings) to two columns (for text) using section breaks. Most of the
section breaks are continuous, but sometimes I need to use a section
break-
next page, and those are the ones that are so hard to get rid of.

However, I think it's easier to delete in Normal View, not print layout.

Hi Bobbi,

To remove the section break, one method is to be in Print layout view
turn
on the nonprinting character display using the show/hide
icon from the toolbar. Place your cursor just before the section break
indicator in your document and tap the delete key twice.

No, it doesn't work. I've had this problem previously. Once you insert
a
"section break (next page)" it's almost impossible to get rid of.

Sigh!

Deleting section breaks rarely works the way you intended, but you can
change the section start type on the Layout tab of Page Setup.
