Word replacing “next page” section breaks with continuous section breaks

This simple code removes all breaks. Only one remains, which is not common - "Text Wrap Break". If you want that to be also removed, just add "^l" in the Array() parameters. But have in mind that "^l" will also match "Line Break". Anyway, you did not mention Text Wrap Breaks, and it is not that common, so I think that's not a problem. Hope that will help someone ;)

Sub Delete_all_breaks_from_selection()
Dim arr() As Variant
Dim i As Byte

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
'"^b" - Selection Breaks, "^m" - Page Break, "^n" - Column Break
arr = Array("^b", "^m", "^n")
    For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
        With Selection.Find
            .Text = arr(i)
            .Replacement.Text = ""
        End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    Next
End Sub

Thanks to a comment about hidden text, I was reminded of a known problem with track changes and automatic ToC/ lists of tables: sometimes even if you are looking at the final version (no markup), it will skip some entries no matter how many times you redo the field codes, so a list of tables will include 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11. Once you accept all changes, if you autoupdate the list again, it will be correct.

With that in mind, I accepted all changes, and lo and behold the section breaks were corrected. I made no new changes, but the document structure finally reflected what the formatting codes said should have been there all along. There must be some logic as to which changes Word implements at which stage of the process, but it seems pretty arbitrary to me.

Thanks again!
