Removing My Continuous Section Breaks Results In Destroying My Next Page Section Breaks

A lot of you will appreciate this particular write-up. At one time or another, you have had this happen. I don't believe this is a basic or advanced thing. This is just one of the many things that can drive you crazy. Scenario: You run an Index of Terms and realize that you have placed your cursor in the wrong location and now you have an Index of Terms in an unintended location. You already had saved the document, so you can't undo it. As you know, a completed Index of Terms is surrounded by two "Continuous Section Breaks". Note: Normally, if the Index of Terms is generated in the proper place, the Continuous Breaks cause No Harm. Now the fun begins. 1. As you attempt to remove the Continuous Section Breaks they then eat up the previous "Next Page" type Section Break and before you know it, all of your Next Page type Section Breaks are being replaced with Continuous Breaks and destroying the numbering structure of the document as well as other effects that you don't need. 2. If this happens on a test, it can throw you off your game and result in a lower score. If this happens at your job, you waste time attempting to put the structure of the document back together. 3. If this should happen, highlight a few lines before the offending area (Continuous Section Break) as well the Continuous Break under the Index as well. 4. Go to the Page Layout Tab (Layout Tab in 2016) and under Page Setup - Layout - Next to "Section Start" choose the "New Page" selection. This will change the Continuous section break to a New Page Section Break. 5. Then, just delete the unnecessary Index and go position yourself at the correct location and simply re-run the Index of Terms. 6. It will now come in surrounded by two Continuous Section Breaks which is proper and you will now be back in business. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com
