It’s not that complicated? Well, hey – IT DOESN’T WORK!!!
I have both a ‘Section Break (Continuous)’ followed a couple of lines down by ‘Section Break (Next Page)’. I have wasted hours over MANY months trying to delete that stupid ‘Section Break (Continuous)’ and all it does is either nothing at all, or it simply pushes it back to the previous page.
Everyone seems to be claiming that you just highlight it and press delete. That doesn’t work, nor does pressing backspace. I’ve tried many of the ‘solutions’ including several from Microsoft Word, and even THEIR ‘easy’ solutions don’t work.
I’m at my wits end trying to fix it!!! I have no more time to spend on this annoying thing that shouldn’t even be a problem in the first place.
That may work in your universe, but not in Office 365. I have a section break (next page) that I CANNOT replace with a section break (continuous). In all versions of Word prior to 2007 this was simple. Once again, Microsoft insists on upgrading to less useful software.

This tutorial was created using Office 365.
Thank you! This was very easy and straight forward AND for the “common folk.”
