remove all section breaks quickly?
I copied an Adobe document into Word and now the section breaks are all over
the place leaving me with very ragged and rambling text. I can delete the section breaks one at a time but there are thousands. Can I delete them all (without deleting the text - done that already!), or align the text? Thanks. |

remove all section breaks quickly?
If they're really section breaks, search for ^b and replace with nothing.

I have a very large merge document, when I do the merge I have section breaks
- new page. I want to remove all of them. When I do a find ^b and replace with nothing on an individual basis it works, when I try a Replace All I get 0 replacements. Any idea what the problem is? The document is over 500 pages long and there are Section Breaks (new page) every 7 pages. I would hat eto have to click thru each one individually! "Suzanne S.

Are the section breaks visible -- you have Show Non-printing
Characters turned on? (It won't find Xrefs if their field codes aren't showing, so maybe this is the same.)

I was able to clear section breaks, but not column breaks. I tried selecting
all my text (87 pages) and reformatting for one column, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? "Suzanne S.

To search for column breaks, use ^n. You can find a list of the special
characters you can search for by clicking the More button in the Find dialog and then choosing Special. -- Suzanne S.

Did you ever figure out how to delete the sections breaks? I have a document
and cannot find them even when I do a search for them with the ^b. I have recently upgraded to 2007 and I can't figure out how to remove this section break! It's driving me crazy!!

Are you sure there are section breaks in the document? What displays if you
show nonprinting marks? Note that you may find it easier to work with the breaks in Draft view. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "tinkeysmom" wrote in message ...

I can't remove section breaks either, it's driving me mad!!! All the help I
can find on any forum says to switch to Draft View, select the section break and delete it. But I can't select the section break! It's a black line, the mouse becomes a double line with an arrow pointing up and another pointing down. It can't be deleted. If I delete the space before it the paragraphs merge, tapping enter creates a new section break! I can't believe how un-userfriendly Office 2007 is, I was a pro of 2003 and I feel stupid when using 2007: everything is hidden, complex and follows a totally absurd logic...

That doesn't sound to me like a section break. When I view a section break
in Draft view in Word 2007, it looks just as it did in Word 2003: =================Section Break (Next Page)================== What you are describing sounds like a border; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...tRidOfLine.htm -- Suzanne S.

Of course, "white space" is relevant for Print Layout view only.
A paragraph border, as Suzanne suggested, possibly together with "Page break before" formatting, seems more likely to be the problem. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

I also am having trouble deleting the "hidden" section breaks. One row in a
table is section one, the very next row magically becomes section 2. I always have "display all formatting marks" on, and certainlly know what a section break looks like. The tables have no visible borders. But the border between section 1 row and section 2 row has a slightly darker and heavier dotted line. I have found the only way to get rid of the mystery section breaks (which do not come up on "find"), is to do a column break before and after the offending row, delete the row and retype. Not something I am enjoying in this 23 page document. "Travlr1974" wrote: I can't remove section breaks either, it's driving me mad!!!

I can confirm that section breaks inserted into table cells may not be
"seen" by Word when performing a Find & Replace in Print Layout view. In Draft view, I can find the break but I cannot delete it by replacing with nothing. Instead, a manual deletion is required.

I too can confirm that in Word 2002 SP3 I cannot use Find and Replace to
delete Section Breaks in a table. I can find 'em, but I can't replace 'em automatically. I just finished manually deleting 85 Section Breaks. I hope Microsoft, or someone, creates a fix or a workaround for this problem. BTW, I can automatically replace Section Break (new page) with Section Break (continuous). I highlight the document and then go to Page Setup/Layout/Section start, change New Page to Continuous, and then click OK. Unfortunately, Delete Section Break is not an option.

I think to delete them you first have to find them and then manipulate
the found range a bit, split the table, manipulate the found range a bit more, then rejoin the table: Sub ScratchMacro() Dim i As Long Dim oRng As Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range With oRng.Find .Text = Chr(12) While .Execute oRng.Select oRng.MoveEnd wdCharacter, 1 oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart With Selection .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .SplitTable .MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend .Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 End With oRng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Wend End With End Sub On Aug 18, 3:13*am, "Stefan Blom" wrote: There are no workarounds or fixes available (yet), as far as I know. *:-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mcarpeneto" wrote in message ...

That seems to be working just fine. Very nice!

Stephan,
Actually it needs a qualifier to keep from tripping up on a break found outside a table: Sub ScratchMacro() Dim i As Long Dim oRng As Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range With oRng.Find .Text = Chr(12) While .Execute oRng.Select If oRng.Information(wdWithInTable) Then oRng.MoveEnd wdCharacter, 1 oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart With Selection .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .SplitTable .MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend .Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 End With Else oRng.Delete oRng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd End If Wend End With End Sub Stefan Blom wrote: That seems to be working just fine.

remove all section breaks quickly?
Stefan,
Actually on closer look it doesn't need to be so complicated at all. I can only guess that using the selection is what makes it uncooperative. This seems to work just fine for all section breaks (in or not in a table): Sub ScratchMacro() Dim oRgn As Range Set oRgn = ActiveDocument.Range With oRgn.Find .Text = Chr(12) While .Execute oRgn.Delete oRgn.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Wend End With End Sub Greg Maxey wrote: Stephan, Actually it needs a qualifier to keep from tripping up on a break found outside a table: Sub ScratchMacro() Dim i As Long Dim oRng As Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range With oRng.Find .Text = Chr(12) While .Execute oRng.Select If oRng.Information(wdWithInTable) Then oRng.MoveEnd wdCharacter, 1 oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart With Selection .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .SplitTable .MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend .Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 .Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 End With Else oRng.Delete oRng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd End If Wend End With End Sub Stefan Blom wrote: That seems to be working just fine.

That's even better. Hopefully the OP is still monitoring this thread.
