Hi,



I'm writing a report on word 2007 and I notice that the scroll bar will show my section, such as Section 1, section 2, section 3, etc, when I scroll down.

Now I missed a page break at the end of section 2, and carried on with section 3, before doing section 4.

I then inserted a page break at the end of section 2, but when I scroll down, the pop-up saying where I am goes...section 1, section 2, section 4.

Section 3 is now identified with section 2, and I think this is because I forgot the page break.

How do I go about getting word to recognise the section when I scroll down on the right.

Well, I hope someone gets what I mean.

Cheers.

You may have a continuous page break somewhere between Sections 2 & 4 - perhaps even immediately before Section 4. You may find it easier to see all your Section breaks by switching the Draft view.

Chances are good that Word is recognizing Word sections just fine. The problem is that not all section breaks create a page break. (Conversely, not all page breaks come from section breaks.) As Paul said, working in draft view is best for spotting section breaks. It also helps to turn on display of non-printing formatting characters.
