Avoid continous breaks turn into page breaks

[sponge]

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?
