On your status bar, you're seeing Section 2, Section 3, etc.? If you're not
finding them, perhaps they're hidden? Try displaying nonprinting characters
(or at least checking the box for "Hidden text" on the View tab of Tools |
Options.

Thank you for your response Suzanne. The "Browse by Section" does take me
to
each "section," but the section break does not show and when I try to
delete
the paragraph mark that would contain the break, while I can delete the
mark,
the section still remains. I also cannot see any of the sections in the
Normal view and when I search for them using ^b, it says none exist. Any
further guidance would be appreciated.

If you set the Browse Object to Browse by Section (using the button
between
the browse arrows at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar), can you not
find the section breaks? FWIW, they're a lot easier to see in Normal
view.
You should also be able to search for them using ^b as a search term.

I've inherited a document that has MANY sections; however, when I ask
Word
to
"find" the section breaks, it says there aren't any. I cannot see
them
either; however, I know they are there because when I "View
Header/Footer,"
there are 30 sections within the first 22 pages of a 150-page
document.
Is
there a way to completely delete all of these sections. I just want
to
start
over with inserting sections where I need them. Thanks for any
advise.
