How can I delete a postscript section I dragged and dropped into Writer

I’m using libreoffice 5.1.6.2 writer with ubuntu 16.04. Thank you!

First, try upgrading using Ubuntu LibreOffice Packaging team’s PPA. I have fixed some similar problems some time ago - possibly your problem could be fixed,too.

Difficult to say without looking at the real document, but try on Format → Sections if you can “unprotect” it.

Thanks, format → sections had what I needed to remove the section. I’ve also updated using the PPA above.
