Workaround desparately needed for a Word "Feature"

R

Roscoe

I discovered that when I have two section breaks in a row, deleting the
second one is nearly impossible.

Situation: I have a 2-column section ending, followed by new section
requiring a new page (to change the page orientation). So, I placed a
continuous section break to even up the columns, followed by a "next
page" section break so I can switch to landscape. Fine so far.

After editing, the 2-column text grew to the point where the "next
page" section break was no longer required (it inserted a blank page).
So I attempted to delete it.

Sorry. Apparently can't do that in Word. No matter what I tried, the
"next page" section break remained and the continous break went away.
Even tried inserting several "^p" on either side of the next page
break, selected the region to include the "next page" section break but
clearly avoiding the continuous break, and voila, the continuous break
was repaced with a "next page" section break.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
