Section break

Hello
I'm using Word 2003.

In the preliminary pages of a document I’m using lowercase Roman page
numbering (i, ii, …). After my Table of Contents I’ve inserted a manual
Section Break Next Page to end the preliminary pages and start the main part
of the document (with Arabic numbering 1, 2, …).

In the main part of the document my Heading 1 style includes "page break
before".

The consequence of these 2 formatting effects (new section page break plus
page break before) is a blank page between the TOC and my first Heading 1
style.

How can I delete it or fix this problem?

Thanks, David

Have you tried a Continuous SB after the TC rather than a Next Page SB?

Hello Bob

Thank you very much - I'd thought about it - and when I read your response
my initial reaction was "didn't he read my post - that won't work" - but it
did. Bloody marvellous - thank-you.
