Default section break different when linked into other document

- sorry- I posted in the .word group, and didn't get any takers: Maybe
someone here has an idea:

I have linked a number of small .doc files into a larger .doc file.
In one of the small files, I have inserted two continuous breaks. The
beginning and end of the doc are single column, and the middle
section
is two column.
In the main document, the second section break of this linked file
shows as (next page) rather than (continuous).
I tried adding text prior and after the problematic break in the
small
(source) file, and the behaviour persists.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Jay

Does the multi-column section contain any footnotes? If so, see "Section
break causes an unexpected page break in Word" at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292074.

Well, I don't find any footnotes in the doc.
Odd, because I'd swear I had some in there somewhere!
Thanks

Possibly some vestige of a footnote reference marker hanging on. Use Browse
by Footnote to see if you strike anything (display Hidden text to make sure
you cover all the bases).
