Tanks
It would be nice to explain how do sections work:
1. A section break stores the formatting (page setup, header/footers etc.) *of the preceding section*.
2. The final paragraph of the document contains an invisible section break
3. *When you delete a section break*, the properties stored in the section break are deleted, and the text which formerly preceded the section break takes on the properties stored *in the next section break*.
4. A section break displays the “Continuous” or “Next Page” property of the following section!

This works up to a point however it applies the page formatting (portrait to landscape) and the headers/footers from the section being removed.
I have a doc that needs the last page removed but that is a different section from the rest of the document and when I delete it it reformats the whole document – changing orientation and headers and footers to match those in the section to be deleted. the headers and footers are not linked…help!

Hi Kurt – I don’t know of a way to make Find/Replace make a distinction between the types of section breaks you might have in a document…but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Is there a way to Find and Replace other section breaks like continuous and next page?

I had the problem of losing all footers in my doc when I deleted a section break near the end of my doc. The problem is that you’ve linked your header/footer from one section to another. The solution is to go to the page where the section break is set, click to open the footer (or header, if that’s the case). Then on the menu bar in the Navigation section, de-select “Link to previous section”. Do this wherever you’ve linked sections. Close the menu and then remove the section break(s). Your header/footers should appear in the correct sequence from the start of your doc.

My problem with removing the section break by deleting it as it also deletes my headers. Any ideas why?
