Smile Word 2013 - When deleting section breaks, cursor jumps to beginning of document

I turn on the paragraph symbol so I can see where my section breaks are (at the end of every page). Because this page is short, I'm deleting the section break so the next page can be moved up. When deleting the section break, my cursor jumps to the very beginning of the document. It seems to be some sort of bug. We just upgraded to Word 2013. We have reinstalled Word 2013 AND Microsoft Office 2013. Anyone else having this issue? It's really annoying! Thanks.

Why are you creating such short pages? Are you aware you can delete Section breaks via Find/Replace (Find = ^b)?

I am aware I can use find/replace, but that wouldn't work with what I am doing. These are 50+ page documents, and each page has a section break because of different headings. In this particular instance, I was "repaginating" to make sure text goes all the way to bottom, and I needed to pull the text from the next page up, hence, deleting the section break. I really wonder if it is a "bug" in Word 2013 because it was just installed on my computer, and Word 2010 NEVER did this.

You can, of course, use Find/Replace selectively. That said, your description suggests you should be taking a different approach. For example, if you need some body text in the page header, you could do that with a StyleRef field.

Surely even that would compromise the headers???

Maybe. I don't have a copy of Office 2013 to test with.
