Continious and Next Page Breaks

H

Heather

I have a document and I am trying to change some of the
text on the same page to appear different to the rest. I
have placed continuation breaks at the start and end of
the section I need which works fine. However I then
needed to remove the Next Page break which was inserted
at the end of this particular page and when I did it
changed one of my continuation breaks to be a next page
break and pushed some of the text onto the next page.

Confused yes I am - all I am trying to do is get rid of
the existing next page break but leave my continuation
breaks as they are.

If anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks
Heather

Hi Heather

The thing to remember here is that a section break stores *all* the
information for the *prior* section, including the starting information. So
the section break that is showing 'Next page' on the screen is not the place
where the next page info is stored! If your formatting is otherwise OK after
you deleted the section break, you can just go into the section *after* the
break and change the page layout information.

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/WorkWithSections.htm for more
information.

In addition to what the others have told you, note that you shouldn't need a
section break to "change some of the text on the same page to appear
different to the rest" unless what you're changing is the number of columns.
That is, you don't need breaks to change the font or paragraph formatting,
including paragraph indents ("margins").
