Glad you finally got it sorted. Although creating the header and footer may
have been the trick, it's also possible that just adding some content did
it. I do know that if you use Insert | File to insert a document into a
completely blank document, it will take on the formatting of the inserted
file, in effect including the final paragraph mark (which I consider
perverse). If you press Enter a couple of times before inserting the file,
then it doesn't bring its section formatting with it. Adding a header may
have accomplished the same thing.

Suzanne,
The PROBLEM has been solved. Before reading your reply to my post
today,
I
copied w/o section breaks and the final paragraph mark and pasted
into a
new
document again. However, this time I created a header and footer
with
page
numbers BEFORE pasting to the target new document. Afterward, a second
section break was inserted and page numbers were formatted to fit
it
(section
break 2).
If memory serves me correctly, you mentioned in an earlier reply that one
has to create a header and footer in order to be able to activate it. I
failed to heed your advice and was trying to create the header and
footer
ex
post copying from a corrupt source document and pasting to a new target
document. I have learned so much about styles and formatting and
headers
and
footers since "peeking" into the community. Learning is a
lifelong
process
is one is open to it. I have been using word for a few years and never
understood the difference between style formatting versus direct formatting,
not to mentioned the simple task of creating a header and footer BEFORE
composing a new document that includes section breaks. That has
all
changed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you and Charles for all the assistance

seemingly insurmountable issue. Keep up the good work!
