This article was previously published under Q51535 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, if you delete a section break
that separates two sections that have different headers or footers, the
headers or footers from the later section will be used in the earlier
section.
MORE INFORMATION
Section formatting (which included headers and footers) is stored in
the section break that follows the text of that section (just as a
paragraph mark holds the formatting for the text of the paragraph that
it follows). When a section break is deleted, the two sections that it
separates are joined and the formatting of the second section is
applied to the first section.
When you delete a section break, ALL the formatting from the the later
section overrides the formatting of the earlier section. For example,
if a section break is removed from a document that contains two
sections, with the first having two-column formatting and the second
having three-column formatting, the entire document will take on
three-column formatting.
