Take this example. My CV. I have a level 2 heading, followed by a paragraph break, followed by a section break, so I can split the "Technical Knowledge" section into 2 columns, so that it takes up less space. At the end of the list, there is a "section break (next page)", because at the time I wrote it, I needed the stuff after to go on the next page.
I now wish to delete the section break (next page) and replace it with a continuous break. The question is, why can't I delete it? Or more to the point, I can put the cursor in front of it, or behind it, and press delete or backspace as appropriate, and it simply moves. *grr* It takes the place of the continuous section break andf the continuous break disappears. Try again? Feh, I tried to get rid of it and it simply messes up the entire document.
Problem is that StarOffice is not actually much better...

I'm concerned for your sanity. ;)
Re: Phil..
Unfortunately, I have nothing else to write about but geekery and casual observations about nothing important. I'm trying to develop some form of life... but I wish it were that easy.

Staroffice isn't actually much better. It's much slower, much tricker to use in general (You try turning off Autocomplete without knowing where the option is... it's a challenge, I tell you).
I don't like any of the options. But Word is the best of a bad bunch.

Uhhuh... that's probably the first time I've ever been told that...
