    This will work:
    1. once in your document select "outline" view
    2. turn on markers
    3. put the cursor over the left hand edge of the break line it will turn black
    4. press delete.
    5. remember that it will probably re-format depending what you had in each section.

    Thank you sooooooooo much!

    I need to work in Track Changes so turning it off was not an option.
    But I got it to work as follows:
    1. Make sure both sections (before and after the break) have the same margins, orientation, header, etc.
    2. insert a blank line before the section break
    3. My second section started with a table. Use Ctrl-Shift-Enter to insert a blank line before the table.
    4. Select from the first blank line to the second, so the section break is included in the middle.
    5. Then click Delete and the whole thing went away including the break.

    Click before break, then hold 'fn' key and press backspace once. It forward deletes like a PC.

    The best way that I have found working so far is as follows:
    click "Show hide" button on home to see the spaces and of course the section break that you want to remove. Then Hit ctrl+G, then on the "Find and Replace" task bar that opens, go to "Replace" tab then where it says "Find what" type ^b and click find
    next, once you made sure that its the same section break that you want to remove, hit the Replace button on the same task bar. Make sure the "replace with" part is left blank. Cheers.

    I have Word 2010 and this didn't work for me. Any other ideas?
    Here's my situation:
    Page 50 has 2 columns at the top. I have a "section break (continuous)" in the middle of page 50 and then 1 column below the continuous section break. I have 2 lines of text and then a "section break (next page)" [this is the one I want to delete]. On
    page 51 I have 1 column. The problem is that when I delete the "Section break (next page)", the "section break (continuous)" converts itself to a "section break (next page)". This happens regardless of whether or not I am in Print layout, web layout, or
    outline views.

    Any ideas?

    Print Layout and Outline View methods di not work for me. Switching to Web Layout did allow me to delete the Section Break (Next Page) in Word v16.32 running on Mac.

    Phew, finally!

    Try selecting the previous and following paragraph marks as well, then delete.
    Does this work?

    Hi Bobbi,

    To remove the section break, one method is to be in Print layout view turn on the nonprinting character display using the show/hide
    icon from the toolbar. Place your cursor just before the section break indicator in your document and tap the delete key twice.

    I am having the same problem and none of this is working for me. I can see the section break, but cannot delete it(either way listed) or highlight it.

    Mgros, I found that if I had track changes turned on it would retain the next page section break. I had to turn track changes off to make the delete possible.
    Wow! That worked perfectly. After wasting a lot of time, I just turned off Track Changes, deleted the page break, and turned Track Changes back on. Perfect! Thank you so much!
