"Section Break Before Paragraph" for custom toolbar button
I've found great use for the "Page Break Before Paragraph" command on my
custom toolbar (its ability to insert a break and take it out with the button), but I need the equivalent for section breaks. Does it exist? (The All Commands list is too cryptic at times.) Thanks! |

"Section Break Before Paragraph" for custom toolbar button
A few more words on this topic follows... :-)
Of course, the option to store a section break with a paragraph (style) would be useful. But it wouldn't be uncomplicated! For one thing, you have to consider that there are four different kinds of section breaks (next, continuous, odd, even). In other words, "Section break before" wouldn't suffice. You would have to have "Next page section break before," "Continuous section break before" and so forth. Also, since a section break stores the section-level formatting of the *previous* section (a document without section breaks has its section formatting in the final paragraph mark), I suspect it would lead to a lot of confusion, because the attribute would modify the layout of the preceding page(s). Of course, I'm sure it would be possible to fix all of these potential problems (perhaps by introducing "section styles" in Word), but I doubt that we'll see that any time soon. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Squ1sh" wrote in message ...
