Delete a section break in Word using Kutools AI

Section breaks in Word are essential for controlling document layout, but they can also create unexpected formatting issues - such as shifting headers and footers, interrupted page numbering, or unwanted page orientation changes. Manually finding and removing these breaks is often time-consuming and error-prone, especially in long or complex documents.

Kutools for Word solves these problems with its AI-powered Chat feature, allowing you to manage section breaks using simple natural-language instructions. Kutools AI not only understands your request but also identifies and recommends the correct Kutools tool, ensures only the intended break(s) are removed, and applies changes safely without affecting other formatting. This makes the process fast, accurate and beginner-friendly. The guide below shows you how to delete section breaks efficiently using Kutools AI.
