Misbehaving Section Breaks (they change their start location)

T

Thomas

I'm having big time trouble with the section breaks in my document. The keep
changing from "continuous" to "odd page" and then back again. I can't keep
them the same! It's driving me crazy. I found a description of the problem
on the microsoft office webpage with a promise to not only fix the problem
but explain what is going on in the first place. Do you think the answer was
on the webpage too? Its not. It's in a book for sale. Yay! After
shelling out cash for the software and fumbling through help menus for an
hour and the internet for longer I can spend another thirty books on a
printed instruction manual and wait a week for barnes and noble to ship it.
Books are fine if I need step by step instruction with pretty pictures but
for a basic tutorial or an explanation of how to use the software, just post
it on the website. In the mean time, anyone know how to keep this from
happening? I'm using the continuous section breaks to go from chapter
headings to dual column print and then using the odd page section breaks to
go from the end of one chapter to the heading at the beginning of the next.
Also, sometimes, in the middle of a chapter, I'm using continuous section
breaks to insert a table or chart that goes accross both columns.
Periodically, however, the continuous breaks become next page or odd page
breaks and the odd page breaks turn into next page breaks. I'll change them
back and they say they're hte same. But they're not!
