Pleading Paper
One thing to note is that when you're in Page Layout, where you turn
on Line Numbering, you can have it apply to Whole Document or This
Section. If you make sure it's set for Whole Document, probably the
line numbers won't go away if you delete a section break.
Not sure what you mean by both "deleted the footer" and "linked the
footer to the first page footer." Remember you can change headers/
footers both via Different First Page and Different Odd and Even, AND
by entering a new section.
Note that there's a difference between Section Breaks and breaks that
aren't section breaks.
Word does have watermarks; though I don't know how they differ from
those in WP.

I've been struggling with section breaks even after reading Susan Barnhill's

page there is a next page section break -- it has a different footer and page
number. *I deleted the footer and linked it to the first page footer. *When I
tried to delete the next page section break the line numbers of my pleading
paper and the footer disappeared. *I tried inserting a continuous page break
and then delete the next page break but that didn't work either. *I'm stumped.
I have a new employer that has pleading paper set-up, although I don't
believe it's a *Word template. * The issue I've described above happens a
lot. *I understand that the section breaks contain the formatting for the
text above it. *What I did in Word Perfect was to create the numbered lines
and footer in a watermark (I wish Word could do watermarks line WP), so that
if text was deleted the lines stayed put.
I've seen some firms put the numbers on the left and the footer into a table
format as part of a header. *
I guess what I want is the numbers on the pleading paper and the footer to
stay put even if all the formatting is cleared. *Can this be done? *I
probably didn't describe this very well. *Sorry for any confusion.
