Interesting observation! I guess this is because you delete the hidden
section break in the final paragraph mark (for a two-section document that
is). But, as you wrote, it does assume that headers and footers of the
deleted section are linked.

Hello, Stefan.
Note: If you delete from the end of the penultimate section to the end of
the document with [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[End] , [Delete], then the Page Setup is
unchanged regardless of the Page Setup of the original ultimate section.

It seems as if you didn't read the article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm very carefully,
because linking headers and footers to those of the previous section is
also
explained in the article (though there are no specific instructions for
Word
2007).

For Microsoft Word 2007

1) Make backup copy of document in case this does not work.

2) Preserve Section 1 Header and Footer
In Header -Section 2- [Link to Previous]
1. Double-click the header in section 2.
2. Click [Link to Previous] ( Design Navigation).
3. Click [Yes] at "Do you want to delete this header/footer and connect
to
the header/footer in the previous section?".

In Footer -Section 3- [Link to Previous]
1. Double-click the footer in section 2.
2. Click [Link to Previous] (Design Navigation).
3. Click [Yes] at "Do you want to delete this header/footer and connect
to
the header/footer in the previous section?".

3) Preserve Section 1 Page Layout.

1. Place cursor at the end of section 1. ( i.e. before the section
break )
2. Select the tail of the document. ( [ Shift]+[Ctrl]+[End] )
3. Delete selection. (Delete)

Clever. It looks like it will work. The backup is probably more in
case *I* don't follow the procedure exactly... ;-)

I'll test this the next time it comes up. I already manually deleted
that last section.

I see an opportunity for a handy macro (DeleteLastSection) written by
some clever MVP and made available on that same page where the hints
are.
