Section Break Spontaneous Changes (Word 2000)

[Word Expert? I doubt it.]

I'm formatting a document with numerous sections. Some of them are "odd
page" sections and others are "continuous." Word keeps changing all of them
to "next page" section breaks. How can I prevent this behavior?
Thanks in advance.
