Page breaks

[robert ginns]

Hi

Is there anyway I can change a page break into a
section break? Say that Word has automatically created a
page break because a table row has expanded onto the next
page, but I don't want a page break but a section break
so that I can individually set the headers and footers.
If I have inherited a document where there are no headers
or footers, but with multiple instances where tables have
expanded so part of the row is on one page, another part
of the row is on the next page- Word having automatically
generated the page break- how can I change all these page
breaks to section breaks?

Thanks.

Wish one of those replies was here. I know what a page
break is, but not what a section break is and am interested
because I use <simple> tables all the time.

sf,

A section break adds a new section to the document. See:

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm

OK, that article doesn't tell al about sections. More like how to deal with
their contrary nature. Sections give you greater control over document
layout.

For example, I want page 1-4 in portrait layout. Page 5-6 in landscape,
and the rest in portrait. OK, simple, I need a three section document.
Section break after page 4 and another section break after pate 6.

Section breaks are placed using the Insert>Break sub-menu.

The article at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/LandscapeSection.htm
does tell a bit more.

Actually, the thread in which I participated turned out to be in
word.pagelayout rather than .tables.
