How to Delete a Section Break in Word for Mac

Are you tired of dealing with unwanted section breaks in your Microsoft Word documents on Mac? Deleting pages from a Word document can be a quick and easy task, but sometimes, you may need to delete multiple section breaks at once. In this article, we will show you three methods to quickly delete all section breaks in your Word document.

Method 1: Find All Section Breaks in the Document

To begin with, open your Word document and press `Ctrl+ H` to open the 'Find and Replace' box. Then, put your cursor inside the 'Find what' text box and enter '^b'. Next, click on the 'Special' button and choose 'Section Break' from its menu. Leave the 'Replace with' box blank and click on 'Replace All'.

Method 2: Run a Macro to Delete All Section Breaks in One Document

Another way to delete all section breaks is by running a macro in your Word document. To do this, open VBA editor in Word by hitting `Alt+ F11`. Then, create a new module by clicking 'Normal' and paste the following code into the coding space:

`Sub DeleteSectionBreaks()

Dim objDoc As Document

Set objDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=StrFolder & strFile)

For Each secBreak In objDoc.Sections

If secBreak.Type = wdSectionBreakThen

secBreak.Delete

End If

Next secBreak

End Sub`

After pasting the code, click on 'Insert' and select 'Module'. Then, name your macro and save it. To run the macro, go to Developer > Macros and select the macro you just created.

Method 3: Delete All Section Breaks in Multiple Documents

If you have multiple documents that need section breaks deleted, you can use a batch process to do so. First, put all target documents in one folder. Then, open VBA editor in Word by hitting `Alt+ F11`. Create a new module and paste the following code into the coding space:

`Sub DeleteSectionBreaksInMultipleDocuments()

Dim strFolder As String

strFolder = 'C:\Path\To\Folder'

Dim objDoc As Document

For Each f In Dir(strFolder & '*.docx', vbNormal)

Set objDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & f)
