Default Avoid continous breaks turn into page breaks

Hi there,



I want to add line numbering to a specific section (one single paragraph) of a word document. The procedure I follow is:

1. Add section break continous before and after the paragraph
2. Then with the cursor inside the paragraph I do:
Layout > Line numbering options:

Section start: continous
Apply to this section

However, it converts the continous breaks into page breaks.
How can I avoid this?

[Edit by CKK as moderator - I marked this as solved because it is no longer a problem for the original poster. We still do not know what the source of the problem was.]

Does it change both section breaks or just one?
I can't replicate this behavior in Word 2003 or 2013. Both simply add line numbering to the selected section.
What happens if you start Word in Safe mode? Same problem?

Thanks for taking the time to check.

It does change both breaks.

As you can't replicate it, itseems to be a bug of my Word version. I am afraid I dont know how to start it in Safe Mode in Mac.
