Page/Section breaks
Hi,
Please help. Can't figure it out why on some pages i can't use section breaks, only page breaks, to make it work for me (i.e. so i can edit pages separately). Sometimes this happens to me within the same document, that i can edit headers and footers by section breaks without a problem and then few pages later i can only use page break orelse i can't separate pages. Where is the catch?? I could find solution to everything but this one thing. Thank you. Bye. |

The only reason I can think of that would account for that behaviour is that your insertion point is in an object/range that you can't add a page break and/or section break to. For example, if you have a header/footer open for editing or the insertion point is in a textbox, content control, or portion of the document to which editing restrictions have been applied.

I think Paul has pointed out the reasons.
I have a question as to why you want to be adding section breaks. Doing this so you can edit pages separately does not make sense. A manual page break (Ctrl+Enter) will let you edit pages separately. Section breaks add overhead to a document and can make future editing more difficult. |

Because page break doesn't allow me change certain data, like manually change page number. Section break allows me doing it.
What do you mean by 'Section breaks add overhead to a document'? Thanks. |

It means exactly what it says; every Section has three headers & footers, potential first page, odd & even page structures and the like, all of which Word has to manage even if they're not in use.
