Karen A. Wyle (kawyle) | 81 comments I'm having a bizarre glitch in Word 2013, and could use advice about dealing with it. I have a vague memory of having the same problem years ago, though possibly with an earlier version of Word.

I'm formatting a paperback, and use section breaks between chapters and after the first page or two of the chapter in order to avoid having headers on the first pages of chapters. I accidentally inserted a "section break - even page" when I should have inserted a "section break - odd page." I'm attempting to fix this. All goes well past the point of the original mistake, where I deleted the incorrect section break, inserted the correct one, and redid the headers in the following section. A couple of pages further along, however, when I try to insert another section break, it somehow wipes out the headers on the previous section. Any clues on what is causing this and how I avoid it??
