Column Breaks cause problems if the first line is a title
theconfax If you insert a Style Separator (STRL+ALT+ENTER) before the Title (or other Collapsible Style), the Column Break will then no longer be in the Collapsible style.
Otherwise, the Column Breaks acquires the Style used for the Collapsible Heading
If you want to try and have this behaviour changed, use the Feedback facility under the Help tab of the ribbon.
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP Unfortunately, using the style separator somehow breaks the shading applied on the style of the titles. Font size, color, etc. is staying. Have you got any workaround?
theconfax Can you upload a document without the Style Separator and one with it so that we can see the issue.
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP says docx file not supported, I put the document here: https://we.tl/t-DRHXLOBAid , the first page is a simple column break, with the heading and shading on the first column, the second page is your method, which deletes the shading.
theconfax If you apply the shading to the Style Separator you get the same appearance as with the simple column break and you have the Collapsible Heading toggle where you want it.
instead of before the column break
