At the end of the chapter or section, click where you want to insert the section break. On the Document Elements tab, under Insert Pages, click Break, and then insert the kind of section break that you want. On the Document Elements tab, under Header and Footer, click Header or Footer, and then insert the kind of header or footer that you want. I have a Mac Word 2008 document that is 300 pages long, no columns. It is a novel and I denoted a separate section visually with ~~~~ and this has been turned by Word into a zigzaging Section Break that I cannot remove. ![]() In fact, whenever I try to remove it, I end up delete desired text or CREATING MORE UNWANTED BREAKS. I have used layout to make it continuous. I see paragraph symbols. I switched to draft instead of print layout. I created a page break and tried to delete it that way (big mistake- every deletion is creating MORE breaks). I simply have no clue as to why this glitch is happening. Is there a patch, is it just a Mac Word 2008 glitch? How can there be no way to remove a frigging section break? I find it incomprehensible and am on the verge of just cut and pasting everything into a new document excepting the sentences that bracket the section break, then retyping those. How crazy is that as a way to fix the problem? ![]() How sections control page formatting. To start a new section in your document, heed these steps: • Position the toothpick cursor where you want the new section to start. Click the mouse where you need to begin a new section, similar to creating a new page break. • Click the Layout tab on the Ribbon. • In the Page Setup area, click the Breaks button. A menu appears, listing several items. The last four items are various section breaks. • Choose Next Page from the Breaks button menu. A page break is inserted in your document; a new section has started. When using Print Layout view, the section break looks like a page break. It works like one too: Text stops on the page before the section break and then starts at the top of the next page. Each page, however, is in a different document section. After the section is created, you can modify the page layout and format of each section in your document. • Choose Continuous in Step 4 to place a more flexible form of section break into your document. Depending on which page formats are changed between sections, the Continuous section break may start a new page or it may not. • The Even Page and Odd Page section breaks work just like the Next Page section break, but they happen only on even pages or odd pages, respectively. These section breaks are designed for documents that use odd and even headers or sport unique margins for binding purposes. When working with sections, place the Section item on the status bar: Right-click the status bar and choose Section from the menu.
