Simply cannot delete a section break. It is impossible. Cannot be done. Please prove me wrong.

After screaming at the computer to die and having tried every option from Word and Google to no avail, I finally found one thing that worked but also destroyed all formatting as a result. I pressed enter/return before the section break (next page), moved my cursor to the left margin, and then highlighted the section break and deleted it. Both header and footer were removed along with all formatting of paragraphs. At that point, I did not give a flying foopity-foo because I had successfully removed the dad-blasted section break. I simply reformatted, which definitely took less time than trying to fix something so stupidly simple and yet so irritatingly complicated. I swear, if I knew anything about programming and coding, I would create a better word processing software that would outstrip Microsoft and their stupid foopity-foo Word. Alas, I cannot and thus am relegated to continue screaming at my computer every time, and I do mean EVERY TIME, I sit down to write in Word.
