How do I delete a section break

You can't delete a section break from the footer pane because the break
isn't in the footer. Exit the footer pane and switch to Normal view. Find
the section break (if you have trouble, select Browse by Section as the
browse object and click the down arrow till you find it), select it, and
press Delete.

I am with you almost all the way...

Normal View, done.
Browseing by Section, done.

However, when I am in the section and I go to delete the
section break, I end up deleting a line, or text. I could
delete the entire componets of the section, but all I
really want to do is get rid of the section break.

Sometimes a section break immediately follows a paragraph mark (in some
previous versions Word would even let you enter a section break instead of a
paragraph mark; in later versions Word adds a paragraph mark). In that case,
it's easier if you press Enter before the break to put it on a line by
itself, and then you can select and delete it, though if you put the
insertion point after the paragraph mark and before the section break and
press Delete, it should work in any case.
