Section Breaks Question: Inserts a Continuous section break - why?

I'm trying to insert a Section Break (Next Page) and the system keeps
inserting a Section Break (Continuous). Why is this happening and how can I
correct it.
I don't want a Section Break (Continuous) after my table of contents, I want
to start my first section on an odd page.

Thanks,
SGB

Does it work any better if you choose "Odd Page" instead of "Next Page"?

After your table of contents

Insert | Break | Select "Odd page" | OK

Or File | Page setup | Layout | Section start: Odd page

The default is New page
