Section break problems Word '97

[Wim]

Hi,

I wrote a document in Word '97 with about 300 pages and 30 sections. For
each section-break I used the 'section break - next page' option; until
section 26 this works just fine, but when I want to insert a 'section
break - next page' to close section 27, Word turns this automatically into a
'section break - continuous'-break. The same problem occurs with section 29.
I tried to get rid of this 'section break - continuous' by removing it and
chosing again for the 'section break - next page'-option. This seems to
work: section 27 (and 29) are then closed by the right section-break (next
page), but then Word turns the section-break of section 26 (and 28) into a
'section break - continuous'-break. I've tried lots of things, but can't
solve the problem. Any help would be appreciated before I go nuts.

TIA,

Wim

I've seen similar problems in various versions of Word.
Don't know of a general solution, but make sure that you have the latest
updates for your version of Word.
Perhaps, better is to upgrade to a more recent version of Word.
By itself, that might fix the problem, or not.
