Well the OP did post this same request on another list and there I did offer 
to provide a solution at a cost. However, it seems that the OP wants it for 
free.

This type of thinking really gets to me. Often when the OP does not have the 
skill or expertise to do something, the resort is to requesting that other 
people take the time to investigate and provide a solution Free Of Charge. 
Since this is NOT an Open Source Project, I fail to see why anyone should 
provide such a solution.

For what it's worth there are a numbe rof network resources that hint at the 
solution. Furthermore, I have already created the solution. It inserts 
section breaks, testing for existing section break before inserting. It also 
fixes headers/footer, page-layout, first page different, updates fields, etc. 

But it seems that the OP wants all that for free :-) So Ned I hear you and 
agree completely. OP must either get the skill to solve and develop the 
solution or pay somebody to give the solution. 

Anything more would be justtaking advantage.
