A section break is a signal to Word to start a new section. When you have two or more sections in a document, each one can have its own set of margins, headers, footers, columns, and a number of other things. Although a section break can begin a new page, it doesn't have to -- it can be a "continuous" section break so there are two sections on the same page. The article at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...thSections.htm explains this and more. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

WRD 2000 - breaks
Jay,
Since the Section has it's own headers and footers, how can I ensure that the headers appear on the same page that I have a section break on. In other words, can I have more than one header or footer on one page? I submitted this question once before, but can not find the answer. Thanks in advance.

WRD 2000 - breaks
No, any single page has at most one header and one footer, no matter how
many sections occur on the page (if some of them have continuous section breaks). As for as I can tell, they'll always be the ones from the first section that occurs on the page. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
