Section Breaks, revisited!
Aargh. Just when I think I've got it figured out, I'm thrown for a loop.
I have a six page legal pleading. The header contains the numbered lines down the left side of the page, which are in a one column table. Pages 1-5 have the same footer. Page 6 has a different footer. I want to delete page six. There is a next page section break at the end of page 5. I try to change it to a continuous section and then delete the next page section but the header (all the line numbers) disappears. What am I doing wrong? I've read the various MVPs instructions on section breaks and removing the last page, but I still can't get it to work. Help! |

Section Breaks, revisited!
I'm really sorry to be so dumb. I just don't get it. I have read and re-read working with sections many times. How do I copy the Section 1 header/footer into Section 2 header/footer? "Suzanne S.

Select the entire header in Section 1 (this will include all the objects
anchored to the header). Ctrl+C to copy. Use Show Next to get to the Section 2 header and Ctrl+V to paste. Now delete the extra, empty paragraph that Word will (frustratingly) have insisted on inserting/preserving). -- Suzanne S.

Actually, linking to previous footer did the trick. Thanks!
