Continuous Break is BROKEN
Word will change a Continuous break to a Next Page break if the change in
formatting is something that can't be accomplished on the same page (a change in page orientation, for example).

Well, that doesn't make sense in this circumstances. There's no
formatting or layout changes. I need the continuous section break in order to insert a custom footnote on that page alone. Plan B? *(((({ In the last exciting episode on Thu, 15 Jun 2006 15:26:23 -0500, "Suzanne S.

Keep looking for the cause of the problem (ie in your document). Not much
milage in asking the forum to guess what you might have done wrong. "*((({" wrote in message news Well, that doesn't make sense in this circumstances. There's no formatting or layout changes.

Custom footnote? Footer?
If it is a footer, you can do this without a section break and continuous section breaks can make tracking problems with footers very difficult to figure out. If you are trying to do a special footer for just one page, take a look at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm. For even more, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Page_Numbering.htm.

Continuous Break is BROKEN
Thanks, Charles. I wondered what Jez was trying to do.
Using Word XP. Custom Footnote. Most footnotes are numbered with each section starting over at 1. (150+ sections). Here and there I need an * or ** footnote. So I put in continuous page breaks before and after the paragraph that needs the *, and choose a custom footnote. Then I have to start the next section's footnotes with whatever numeral is appropriate -- not at one. The problem is, some of the continuous pagebreaks aren't. They jump me to the next page. I've tried changing all the styles so there is NO keep-with-next and NO widow/orphan control. No joy. I hope that's enough info. *(((({ In the last exciting episode on Thu, 15 Jun 2006 22:06:49 -0500, "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Custom footnote? Footer?

It is more info. That's for sure.
Tables? How much is jumped to the next page? What happens if, instead of inserting a section break, you press the Enter key once? (Just wondering how much room you have to play with.)

Have you tried doing this without any breaks at all? I just tried the
following: 1. Inserted three footnotes (numbered 1, 2, 3). 2. Between footnotes 2 and 3, inserted a footnote with custom mark *. This footnote has an asterisk, and footnotes 1, 2, and 3 remain unaffected. No section breaks of any kind. Note, however, that this must be a true *custom* footnote, using the "custom mark." You can't do this by selecting the *, â€*, ‡ series of symbols as the "Number format." This means that you would have to manually type in an asterisk or two asterisks or whatever other symbols you need, and they would not update automatically if you added additional custom notes, but at least you wouldn't have the extra burden and bother of section breaks. -- Suzanne S.
