Page Breaks & Section Breaks

  1. Page Break & Section Break
    Use

    Page breaks are used to position the text following the cursor on the next page. This is especially useful when you want to begin a new sub-topic on a new page.

    Sections are used when you want to change properties such as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers i.e. to vary the layout of a document within a page or between pages. For example, formatting a section as a single column for the introduction of a report, and then formatting the following section as two columns for the report’s body text.

    How to
    To insert a section break or a page break, position your cursor at the end (last character) of the section or page. Next, click on INSERT and select BREAK. Now select either PAGE BREAK or the NEXT PAGE under SECTION BREAK.
