First heading appears twice in TOC !
The issue you are describing is unrelated to the problem with page breaks
discussed earlier in this thread. The reason why sections behave the way you have noticed is that a section break stores the formatting of the *preceding* section. When the break is deleted, the formatting of the next section break is being applied. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Brian" wrote in message ... This constantly drives me nuts. Why would I want to write a paragraph using styles after it? This is really a problem when i edit a big document and delete a section. For some retarded reason, Word thinks I want to keep the format of the section I deleted, not the section above it that I want to keep. -- ~~ B. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: The thing you need to understand what is happening is that in Word structure, the page break is not a type of paragraph mark but rather is inside the following paragraph and a part of it. This isn't logical, but it is how Word is built. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Charles Charles Kenyon wrote: No, but it is a very good reason for using the "page break before" formatting in your Heading 1 style. I agree with the "page break before", but still consider this behaviour a bug (or a least a bad design decision, if it was a concious decision at all :-)).
