Section breaks in content controls

Jason — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 06:23:59 GMT

This is slightly OT, but I've noticed that in Word 2007 section breaks misbehave *within content controls*.

For example:

1. a section break at the end of an sdtContent (ie w:p/w:pPr/w:sectPr/w:type immediately before the </w:sdtContent>, you can't delete in the Word UI

2. what is in the OpenXML a section break of type "continuous", is displayed in the Word UI as a section break of type "Next Page"

Any insight into this? Is there a bug tracking system somewhere I can access in which this could be reported?

thanks

Jason

Jason,

For issue #1 try using Shift-Delete. That should delete the section break. For issue #2 I am unable to repro what you are seeing. I see Word correctly displaying the breaks as continuous.
