Viewing section break numbers

Post by Deb G. »

It seems this forum is on a roll with section break questions:)

Is there a place in 2007 where you can see what section you are in? In 2003, the bottom left corner of the screen (beside the page and word count) showed something like "Sec.2" (or whatever section you were in). I don't see that information anywhere in 2007.

I have a document with ++sections but I want to protect only one section. When turning on protection, you need to choose which section(s) by number that you want protected...but I can't find that in the various ribbons or task bar. What am I missing?

I hope this isn't one of these questions that going to make me feel like an idiot when I read the response :groan:

Right-click the status bar, and click on Section in the Customize Status Bar menu that pops up.

Thanks again Hans. <sigh>....I really wish basic things like this were always "on" instead of searching endlessly for them.

Microsoft has made very weird design decisions in Word 2007, and in Office 2007 in general... :crazy:
