= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word version 5.50, 6.00, a “division” is referred to as a “section.”

Depending upon the location of the division breaks, the division formatting of an included document will override the division formatting of the main document.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When a document having its own division formatting is included into another document using the INCLUDE print merge command, the division formatting of the included document will override the division formatting in the main document. This only affects the division in the main document that contains the include statement.

For example, if the main document has one division mark at the end of the document and the INCLUDE statement is anywhere above the division break, then the division formatting of the included document will affect all of the main document’s text.

To prevent this problem, place the INCLUDE statement after the division break in the main document or delete the division break in the included document.

This does not affect any paragraph formats.
