Hello Carla,
You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word (not
your fault: the interface is badly designed). However, as far as I know,
headers are treated the same on PC and Mac versions.
I'm not sure of what website you're referring to, and it's not clear as to
what you mean by "I'm not able to deactivate the button [for 'link to
previous' on the header]", so I'm advising you somewhat in the dark.
However, does it help if I mention that a section break controls the
properties of the section *before* it? Maybe that's the answer to your
problem.
However, your document might be corrupted (I'm unsure yet from your
description whether it is). The corruption is most likely to be contained in
the final paragraph mark in the document. Select the entire document
*except* the final paragraph mark, copy, then paste into a new blank
document. Has the problem disappeared?
If not, the section breaks themselves may be corrupted (section breaks, like
the final paragraph mark in a document, tend to harbour corruption). Replace
all the section breaks with page breaks (a temporary measure) via Find &
Replace, then repeat the actions I described in the previous paragraph. Does
that fix it? If so, configure one section break after clicking anywhere in
the text before the section break (best in Normal view). Then copy the
section break and paste it in at the next place you want to have one -- this
is easier than preparing a new one from scratch.
Post back with more information on what you are seeing if none of the above
is what you need (tell us *exactly* what you are doing and seeing).
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm also contains
comprehensive advice -- maybe this is the one you were referring to, but
maybe not.
