I need to find out the number of section breaks in a 400 page document. How
do I do this?

Lou Ptak

Open the 400-page document, press Ctrl+End to go to the end of
the document. Click on Tools | Options | View | check the
"Status bar" box | OK. If you look at the left end of the Status
bar at the bottom of your screen, there should be a "Page x Sec
y" indicator that tells you the current page and section number.
The number of section breaks in your document is one less than
the total number of sections.

That's almost certainly the easiest way. Another way, however, is to use
Find and Replace to replace ^b with ^&. Word will report the number of
replacements.
