Default Help! Manual page break starts a new section

I'm using Word 2003 on WindowsXP.

A consultant sent me a 12-page document that has 12 sections (for no
apparent reason -- the formatting and headers/footers are the same
thoughout).

Anyway, I am unable to make the document all one section. So far I've
tried:
-going into Page Settings = Layout and changing "Section Start" to
continuous.
-removing all ^b characters (section break) and also replacing them
with manual page breaks (^m)

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Thnx! -Cloy

The fix was easy enough...

Save the file and close. Quit Word. Restart Word and open the file. The
sections are reset... How can we expect Word to update on the fly?
