In MS Word, how do I get rid of a (next page) section break without ruining my formatting?

Question

Example: I have two pages with different headings/margins separated by a section break. If I delete the section break, the second page's header and page margins replace the first pages.

How can I delete the section break (and second page), without ruining the integrity of my first page?

Answer 1

I'd suggest copying all the critical parameters from Section 1 to Section 2, then getting rid of Section 2.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

IF I understand what you're saying (and that's a very big "if") then place your cursor at the very beginning of the second page, like, at the first non-blank character of TEXT (no, not the header...YOUR text!) and press the backspace key.
