Replace Section Breaks
CaroleSL With the selection in the Section for which you want to change the Section Start, use the Dialog Launcher at the bottom right of the Page Setup section of the Layout tab of the ribbon to display the Page Setup dialog and then go to the Layout tab of that dialog and you can select the required Section start from the dropdown
CaroleSL Use a macro containing the following code
With ActiveDocument
For i = 2 To .Sections.Count
If .Sections(i).PageSetup.SectionStart = wdSectionNewPage Then
.Sections(i).PageSetup.SectionStart = wdSectionOddPage
End If
Next i
End With
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP , I'm still working on the complex document. I want to change some Odd Page section breaks to Next Page (but not all of them). Do you have any tips? If I try to add "Next Page" then delete "Odd Page," I delete "Next Page." If I delete "Odd Page" first, it breaks 24 following sections breaks, headers and footers. If I insert "Next Page" on the next page, it breaks headers and footers, but I can then delete "Odd Page" and fix them again (with a lot of frustration). Thank you.
