How to delete section without deleting the section formatting?
Word Help states: "When you delete a section break, you also delete the
section formatting for the text above it. That text becomes part of the following section, and it assumes the formatting of that section". This is ABSURD. Why should the formatting from the current section become part of the section I am deleting. If section 1 is Portrait and section 2 is Landscape. When I delete section 2, all text and page format in Section is converted to Landscape. I do NOT want Lansdscape, that is why I am deleting that section. This is an ABSURD behavior. Please advise how can I delete a scetion without inherting the formatting from the deleted section. Thanks, |

How to delete section without deleting the section formatting?
The formatting info for a section is stored in the section break at the END
of the section. The formatting for the LAST section is stored in the final paragraph mark at the end of the document. When you delete section 2, you must NOT include the section break between 1 and 2, because that break contains the formatting for section 1. To see the section break, switch to Normal view. -- Ted |
