Cannot change Section Break (Next Page) to Section Break (Continuous) 1

[kzutter]

I am using Word 2007 to edit a Word 2003 .doc file.

I have a Section Break (Next Page) and I want to change it to a Section Break (Continuous), i.e. have the next section continue on the same page.

When I delete the current Section Break (Next Page) and choose to insert a Section Break (Continuous) from the ribbon, it inserts a Section Break (Next Page).

Any ideas??

Deleting and re-inserting Section Breaks is a minefield! Exactly what happens depends on several factors. Far better to go to the PageSetup dialog > Layout tab and change the Section Start to "Continuous"

Enjoy,
Tony

That is putting it mildly.

It may also be better to insert the Continuous before deleting the Next Page. However, there could still be serious issues if you have any headers/footers involved.

@fumei - Thanks, I had already tried inserting before deleting to no avail.

@TonyJollans - Thanks, by going to the following section and changing it in the page setup, I was able to accomplish what I wanted.

You know, it shouldn't be this hard.
