I knew how to make section breaks, but the headers kept changing, even though I unlinked the sections... and the section links kept coming back... I was ready to declare the program insane! It all disappeared with that tip on “Remove Content Control” -- which I never found mentioned in the Word help files. THANK YOU.

But delete any section breaks that are not necessary so that you have fewer to deal with. <br /><br />Elle<br /><a href="http://hearwritenow.com/word-4-writers/" rel="nofollow">Word 4 Writers on HearWriteNow</a><br /><a href="http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Blood-Red Pencil</a>Elle Carter Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266309723919011181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-49193177635614968452010-07-22T18:42:54.170-06:002010-07-22T18:42:54.170-06:00It's when I found I'd accidentally created...It's when I found I'd accidentally created sections that it got complicated.

LOL<br /><br />Patricia,<br />How frustrating! I've not yet needed to insert a page number in the header in that way, but I managed to replicate your problem. <br /><br />To get around this, don't use the Header feature, but the Page Numbering feature instead:<br /><br />- Insert the page number first (Insert >> Page Number >> Select top right position)<br /><br />- Place your cursor to the left of the page number and type in your name and title text.<br /><br />Elle<br /><a href="http://hearwritenow.com/word-4-writers/" rel="nofollow">Word 4 Writers on HearWriteNow</a><br /><a href="http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Blood-Red Pencil</a>Elle Carter Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266309723919011181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-57631825915353212042010-07-22T16:05:53.310-06:002010-07-22T16:05:53.310-06:00These Word tutorials are a great help, Elle.

I'd enter name/title and when I went to insert the page number, the other part of the header disappeared. The same thing happened when I inserted the page number first then spaced over to enter the other info.<br /><br />Somehow I managed to get both items into the header, but I'm not sure how. :)Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-15208747141644291682010-07-22T09:27:56.104-06:002010-07-22T09:27:56.104-06:00Why do they make things so complicated?
