Hmm. I was setting up a partial "good doc" in which Contnuous was working fine, intending to copy-paste a swatch of "bad doc" in which Continuous was getting screwed up by insertion of actual New Page breaks. So I did a Save As to new "bad doc"--and when I looked at it, Continuous was working throughout the doc. In other words, Save As got Word to refresh all previous instructions, incl Continuous for section breaks.



So this solves the problem! I'd like to believe all such structural Word problems go away with Save As and eventual Renaming to the original filename...



Anyway, thanks for your help, and I hope this solution might be helpful for other Word users too.
