Why use Continuous Section Breaks always instead of Next Page?
I once worked in Word Processing Centers and their template used only
Continuous Section Breaks after their Section 1 section - NEVER Next Page section breaks. I never asked why, and now I need to set up a template for someone. I set it up with a "Section 1" (before which is Front Cover, TOC etc.) and then continuous, same as previous section breaks (with different first page for Section Headers) following on from this for each regular section. The page title style on each page has a "page break before" it. Everything works hunky-dory, but the person asked me why they shouldn't use Next Page section breaks. I told them it was for copying and pasting between their (often huge) reports - to preserve the page numbering and headers and footers etc. I also think that Next Page breaks include the phantom space at the top of the page that you get with hard page breaks. However, truthfully, I'm not sure. What's the answer - why did I get taught originally to do it this way? Are there any advantages to doing it the way I did it? Is this an "old" way of thinking - were there corruption issues with it that newer versions of Office have now cleared up? We are using Office 2003. |
