Well, as far as I understand Jonas, not all sections are empty. But if there are too many empty sections on one page, no pagebreak occurs and you get a big overfull \hbox. Thus, I suppose that DPC's suggestion to insert pagebreaks manually (\clearpage) is an appropriate solution. Ulrike, the reason Jonas [ab]uses \section is because this macro contains discardable vertical space i.e., the space above the section header disappears if the section begins at the top of a page. This is exactly what Jonas wants, hence using \section is appropriate. Writing a dedicated macro is certainly possible. But unless the document is large or has to be revised in the future, inserting \clearpage manually where needed makes sense. I suppose that Jonas needs a solution soon and is not interested in an everlasting reseach project. Jonas, does \clearpage, as suggested by David, solve your problem?
