The goal was to start each card with a Heading 1 and then alphabetize the whole thing by those headings, so a uniform layout for each recipe was a necessity.

As the recipes were added in chronological order over 20+ years, there was an unholy mixture of column, continuous and next-page breaks, with random manual page breaks thrown in. I struggled with the problem of changing section breaks from continuous to next page or vice-versa a lot while trying to standardize the formats in a 1000+ page recipe file formatted on 4ењ† index cards. However, if I begin at the end of the manuscript and work my way backwards, the formatting seems to remain as I change it. If something (copyright, ISBN) needs to go on the back of the Title Page, that formatting symbol can then be changed from Section Break Odd Page to Section Break Next Page on the back of the title page itself.Дў) When proceeding from front to back with changes to formatting, Word seems to reset them according to some algorithm we don't have access to (as mentioned, changing Next Page to Odd Page causes the formatting symbol upstream of the changed symbol to change back from Odd to Next). For example, in a hardcover book format, selecting Odd Page and applying it to Whole Document seems to ensure that the main Title Page, Dedication, Epigram, and Contents are started on new, odd (i.e., right-hand) pages.

I've found two additional techniques that might help to bring formatting section breaks under control:ДЎ) In Layout->Page Setup->Layout (tab), setting the Section Start dropdown to the type of section I intend to use the most (Continuous, New Page, Odd Page, etc.) seems to instruct Word (MS Home and Office 2016) to use that selection by default. If it doesn't, transfer everything in the troublesome document (except the very last end-of-paragraph mark) to a new document and then save that new document.ДЇinally, if you have a very complex document and nothing else seems to work, consider breaking your document into smaller documents-perhaps about 100 to 150 pages each. If you suspect this is the case, then save the document using Save As to see if it clears matters up. This is not entirely uncommon with complex Word documents and it can be even more common if you are working with Track Changes or have lots of graphics or tables. It could be, however, that your document is large enough and complex enough that it has become, in some fashion, unstable. If you are only using 'Next Page' section breaks in your document, then you can select the entire document and apply the section settings to all sections at once. In that case, there really is no solution, other than to double-check section break settings after adding new breaks. The problem, more than likely, is that Word is trying to 'second guess' what type of section breaks you want. Lately when he inserts a 'Next Page' section break the previous section break, which was also 'Next Page,' automatically changes to 'Continuous.' Pete wonders if there is a reason why this happens and, perhaps, if there is a limit on the number of 'Next Page' section breaks there can be in a document.ДЄccording to Microsoft sources, there is no limit on the number of section breaks in a document. There are many, many section breaks in the document, since this is necessary which switching between page orientations.

Pete is currently generating a large document (approximately 540 pages) that utilizes both portrait and landscape page orientations.
