Continuous Section Break Affects Pagination
I'm at the "beats me" stage. In Word 2000, I'm working on
a multi-chapter book. Each chapter has subsections, for which I use different headers, made possible by inserting section breaks that are continuous. All of the chapters save one are working just fine. In the maverick, when I insert a continuous section break, it changes where the page breaks, and I cannot figure out why. Microsoft's "work-around" suggests converting all the footnotes to end notes, but that is not the form that the publisher uses or that's best for the readers. Moreover, all the other chapters seem to have no problem. I welcome any suggestions. My deadline is rising in the east and soon will be here. Thanks in advance. Don |

Are you aware that you can transport content from, say, headers, into the header by way of the STYLEREF field? This will allow you to have all your chapter (and possibly even all of your chapters, depending on your layout) in one single section.

Continuous Section Break Affects Pagination
Are you saying that a continuous section break acts like a next page
section break? The reason could be the footnotes, as Word seems to prevent footnotes in different sections from ending up on the same page (by making a continuous break act like a next page break). This actually makes sense, since footnotes can be restarted on each section, and if continuous section breaks were allowed, that could result in the same footnote number appearing multiple times on the same page. Did you try changing all of your section breaks to "next page"? I know, this isn't much of a work-around, but it does give each section a uniform look. -- Stefan Blom "Don" wrote in message ...
