Whoever at Microsoft is responsible for the section break editing mode should be sent to prison.

For anyone that happens to be looking at the video still, instead of leaving the replace with black, replace the section break with a column break. This allows you to keep the formatting. In the video, the 4 got sucked back into the 3. Replacing with a column break keeps the 4 where it is and if you had the same issue I had, still allows you to print specific pages instead of the whole document. Great video and it helped me out a lot!

You are a lifesaver! I was having so much trouble with "next page" section breaks that I wasn't able to delete. This find and replace method stopped my poor laptop being thrown across the room in frustration. Thank you so much!!

The find and replace approach was an excellent tip (I had about 60 section breaks that needed to be removed). Thank you sir!

Finally, something that helped with those constantly annoying section breaks. The second tip (the 'replace all') did it. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

The find and replace totally helped me with "section hell" I was dealing with in Word 2016 and helped me start over. Thanks!!!

After crying and searching so many videos, this is the only video that helped me. Thank you so much!

I was "helping' my friend fix a 400-page document that seemed to contain random section breaks. This video helped me start over. Many thanks.

I watched many youtube vidoes trying to learn how to delete the extra page in my word doc. However, none of them mentioned that the problem was caused by the breakline. I followed your instruction and solved my problem. Thank you so much for sharing your skills.

You are an amazing person! I have a puddle of sad tears from before mixed with my now happy tears after I got my problem fixed. I wish you all the best in your life, you have done us well!!!

I have to say thank you. I was on the verge of submitting my assignment but had to copy paste another word document which messed up everything within a sec. Was looking for a perfect solution and you are my hero.

That Search and replace work around for those of us on Macs is genius. Thank you.

Second suggestion worked for me. I had "Section Breaks (continuous)" between rows of tables while I was individuall formatting each row. Thank you so much!

You won’t know how much you helped me during my dissertation, especially the second option as the first one didn’t work. Thank you sooo much.

[RosalynGreen]

So simple, so easy and straight to the point. Thank you!

[fionaxx]

Oh my gosh, Thank You!! Thank You!! I’ve been struggling for a few DAYS now trying to get rid of these annoying sections!!! The first way you show, which is most common listed on the internet didn’t work! But, your 2nd example was a God send my friend!!!
FINALLY!!! The mystery of deleting sections is solved & I can now number my document pages as it was number in 2 sections, starting at 1 in each (example; section one was pages 1~4, then it would start at 1 again on the 4th page! Grrr! THANK YOU!!!
