apply section break with a style

[shahar.oleh]

Hi, I'm relatively new to styles in word, so sorry if this is well-
known!

I'd like to apply a section break before the 'Header 1' style, but I
can only see an option to apply a page break.

The reason I want a section break specifically is so that I can make
get html output that is already formatted to my requirements, i.e.
with a <div class="Section X"> ... </div> around each 'Header 1' and
it's 'normal' content.

Any guidance *much* appreciated!

Word does not allow section breaks to be applied by paragraph styles. You
will have to add the section breaks manually.

Hi shahar oleh,

Not possible - the nearest you'll get is the page break before. If you need a Section break, you'll have to insert it manually (or
use a macro).

Cheers

Oh, ok.
That's pretty lame, but thanks for the info!

...or use a macro.
Could you give me some pointers?
thanks

How many instances of the Heading 1 style do you expect to have in the
document? Inserting a Section Break is not that difficult that it would
warrant the use of a macro. In any event, as a substitute for a macro, I
would suggest and autotext entry.

It may seem like a good idea to have paragraph styles add section breaks.
However, I think it would cause more trouble than it solves! The problem is
that section breaks control many settings in Word: page setup, headers &
footers, and column formatting; I would certainly prefer adding setting
those options explicitly whenever necessary.

The idea is to allow other to create the docs with anywhere from 1 to
20± headers on a regular basis. The idea was to provide useful html
that I need to do the minimum amount of work on as possible...

Is this a job for a macro?

Thanks in advance!

oh, I see, however as the use is primarily outside of Word those
issues are less relevant.
thanks

Not to mention that there are four different kinds of section break:
Continuous, New Page, Odd Page, Even Page.

The type isn't relevant for my purposes. thanks

Thanks all for the guidance, looks like Macro's will do the job...

thanks again for your time!
