Did you read the referenced article? It explains how to do what you want.
And note that AFAIK you have received no "response by Microsoft," certainly
not from me; I do not work for Microsoft.
My comment that the behavior of section breaks has not changed in Word 2003
was in response to your complaint that "I hate Microsoft Word 2003. It seems
like they have really made it less user friendly." Many things may have
changed or become less user-friendly in Word 2003, but the behavior of
section breaks is not one of them.

The response by Microsoft to simply indicate that "the behavior of Word
2003
hasn't changed" is well...very, very stupid indeed. The obvious response
to
a customer using one's product is to give them clear and concises
instructions on how to solve their problem. But Microsoft failed to
understand this and instead simply indicated that the behavior of Word
2003
has not changed! Daaa! How 'bout providing a an answer to actual help
the
person. Here I am with the same problem: I can't figure out how to delete
a
section but still keep the format of the "preceding" section. There is no
help or instructions rendered by Microsoft in this regard. That reallly
sucks!! And so does Suzanne's response!

First, let me say that I hate Microsoft Word 2003. It seems like they
have
really made it less user friendly.
I use a lot of Section Breaks when drafting reports. Generally I have
page
1
with one header and footer, which I end with a continuous section
break,
followed by subsequent pages with no header and page number footers. I
then
will use a page section break, and start the process again with a
different
header.
Well, I now find that when I delete a continuous section break to
insert
it
elsewhere, the page section break above it is ALSO deleted, and then
impossible to put back in. This annoying fluke is the bane of my
existence.
Any help?
