Getting a Blob with Section Breaks
I am frequently getting blobs like this when I insert breaks into a document. The actual break is in the wrong place and text is obscured. Is there any solution to this? Word for Mac.
The giant gray thing is the "blob" is where the section break was entered. It covers up some of the text. I have seen it frequently since "upgrading" to V16.
I need the section break because I have a 750 page document that consists of subdocuments where the footnotes need to restart and I have places where I need to switch back and forth between landscape and portrait. I have Word 16.69 and Mac OS 13.2.

Big_Jim_Slade You mention subdocuments. Are you using the Master Documents "Feature"?
If so, I urge you to read Master Documents "Feature" in Microsoft Word. The blob may be an artidfact of the Master Document view.
Charles_Kenyon No, I am not.
Can you save a pared-down version of your document that displays the problem on OneDrive and post a view link here?
