Note
The type of section break shown above is a Continuous section break; there are other types of section breaks.
Place your cursor just before the section break and press Delete.
Warning
- When you delete a section break, Word combines the text before and after the break into one section. The new combined section uses the formatting from the section that followed the section break.
- If you want the section to use the formatting, headers or footers from before the section break, use Link to previous instead of removing the section break.
