I did some tedious jobs which makes documents from excel work sheets.

it's good except there are sections breaks in headers and footers.

I did search and replace(ctrl+f & replace tab) and search section breaks(^b) and
replace with page break(^m).

but doesn't work at all.

what's wrong?

the section break after mail merge is section break(next page).
word finds section break(continue) well.
I use 2007.

You can't have a section break in a header/footer. It will be in the body of
the document.
Why do you need to remove the section breaks? What advantage will you gain
from changing a new page section break to a page break?

Or if you don't want a Section Break, change the mail merge main document
from a form letter to a catalog or directory type.
