I have a document that will be changed over and over by people who have very
little experience with word and sections breaks.

Its layed out like this:

Cover
TOC
Section 1: Background
(Content)

Section 2: Executive Summary
(Content)

and so on..

The issues I have is, can I use styles to create the sections without
section breaks. The headers of course need to reflect the new sections.
Also, the section names are centered vertically and horizontally on the page.

Please help.

Thanks.

Yes, you can.

Create styles for you headings, or better yet, modify the built-in Heading 1
to 9 styles to match the formatting you need.

When you are done, go into the header, place the cursor where you want the
headings to appear and do CTRL-F9 to insert a pair of field brackets {}.
Inside the bracket, type {STYLEREF 1} if you want the Heading 1 text to be in
the header or type {STYLEREF 2} for Heading 2, etc. If you used your own
styles, type the name of the style, like {STYLEREF My Heading Style}. See
Insert > Fields... for more info on the STYLEREF fields, like how to dislpay
paragraph numbering. Also, see this page for reasons why it is generally
better to use the built-in heading stytles:
