This article was previously published under Q62196 SYMPTOMS
When a form letter contains an include instruction and the document to be
included contains a section break, the section formatting of the main
document may be changed by the section formatting of the included document.
NOTE: In Word 6.0 Word 98 the include field is "INCLUDETEXT." In Word Word
4.0, Word 5.0, the include field is "INCLUDE."
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the section formatting is stored within the
section break, and when it is placed into a document, it affects the
text that comes before it in the document.
Section formatting that may be affected includes options such as page
number, number of columns, headers and footers, margins, line numbers, page
size and orientation, and footnotes.
