A friend has a major problem with a 250 page label mail merge document. He
needs to change some page layout settings for the whole document but it is
only letting him change the first page. When he tries to "apply to whole
document" it comes up with a "fix margins" box that won't go away unless he
applies it to the current section only. I have replicated this on my own
computer as well. It uses standard A4 Avery label 7165 (parcel label).

I noticed that each page is separated by a Section break (next page). So I
decided to try and use "find and replace" to replace all the section breaks
with page breaks. This did not work as although it would find the section
breaks it just would not replace them with page breaks - it basically just
ignored my command.

So, in order to get this to work he now has to manually delete every section
break at the end of every page of 250 pages!

He does one of these mail merges every week - and does not fancy going
through this process every time. He has Office 2000 on his home machine and
this works fine.

Is there any way to
a. get Word to separate pages with a page break rather than a section break
b. force Word to replace the section breaks with page breaks, or
c. create a document with automatic page breaks?

All help gratefully received.
