How to find section breaks

B

bztips

I have a document where I want to allow the user to edit only certain
sections. So I use section breaks and then when I protect the document,
I select the sections to protect.

Problem: When I show the formatting marks to figure out which sections
to protect, not all of them are revealed. Apparently I've inserted
some extra breaks at some point, because I see only 10 different
section breaks (implying 11 sections), but when I go to protect the
document, there are 13 sections listed. I think it has something to do
with breaks inserted at the beginning or the end of a line that don't
show up, but I can't be sure.

Is there any way to find EVERY section break?

You can use Edit > Find and put the code ^b in the Find What box (or click
More > Special > Section break). Or you can use the Goto command (Ctrl+G),
select Section, and put a + in the box.

For a more manual solution, you could switch to 'Normal' view. All section
breaks are shown on new lines.
