First Headline after Continuous Section Breaks

[pvk]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I have a document with 350 Pages, with about 30 continuous section breaks, because I need different text (column titles) for the headlines in each section. But two of the thirty headlines I cannot format as "First Headlines" with the option "First page different". If I erase the text in that headline, the text in the other headlines in that section is also erased. I tried to erase and to reformat, but with these two it does not work. The other 28 work well.

I hope you understand my problem and have a solution.

Thanks for help! Peter from Germany.

Hi Peter:

The problem is that you have two corrupt Section Breaks in that document.
Once a section break corrupts, it usually turns "read-only". The only cure
after that is to delete it.

The section break n question is the one FOLLOWING where the problem appears.

To get column headings, I would use a table with "heading row repeat" set on
the top row. It will be easier and more stable.

Hope this helps
