You're right, of course, and I think that is what I started to write and
then got confused.

Good suggestion re F4.
The only problem I see is that by accepting the page setup in the last
section and applying them to the next-to-last section, you will not get
what
it sounds like to me was requested--to have the setup of the last section
match the setup of the next-to-last section ("I now want to delete the
section break and have the whole document appear like the first part of
the
section.")
So the setup should be accepted in th next-to-last section, then move to
the
last section and press F4 (the reverse of what you suggested).
As usual, I appreciate your suggestions which are right on the mark!

An easier way to do step 1: In the last section, go to Page Setup,
change
nothing, and click OK to accept the settings. Move the insertion point
to
the next-to-last section and press F4. This will duplicate the margins,
paper size, etc., for the next-to-last section.

There are two things you will need to do before deleting the section
break.
1. Set the page setup in the section to be the same as the first
section--look in the first section under File Page Setup , on the
Margin
tab for the margin settings (Top, Bottom, Right, Left, as well as
Header
and
Footer) and make them the same in the second section. Also check the
settings on the other tables for any differences and make both
sections
the
same.
2. Now, using View Header/Footer, first in the header select
Same as
previous in the Header/Footer toolbar--this will bring the contents of
the
header into the second section; now switch to the footer and do the
same
thing.
Once you have the setup of both sections the same, you can delete the
section break and retain the setup of the first section throughout
your
document.
I'd suggest that you work with a copy of your original just in case a
setting does not carry through properly.

I have a word document with one section break in it. After the
section
break,
the headers/footers/borders/margins are quite different to the front
part of
the document.
I now want to delete the section break and have the whole document
appear
like the first part of the section.
When I now try and delete this section break the whole document
reverts
to
the settings of the second half of the document and wipes out the
first
half's setting.
Does anyone know how I can delete the section break and not loose
the
document settings of the first half of the document?
