To insert a section break, you need to select the starting point for the new section and then use the 'Breaks' option within the 'Layout' menu.
Steps to Insert a Section Break
Inserting a section break is a straightforward process that allows you to divide your document into sections, each with its own formatting options like margins, columns, or headers and footers.
Follow these steps based on the provided information:
- Select where you want a new section to begin. Place your cursor exactly where you want the new section to start.
- Go to Layout Breaks, and then choose the type of section break you want. Navigate to the Layout menu, find the Breaks option, and click on it to see the available section break types.
Understanding Section Break Types
The type of section break you choose determines where the new section will start in your document flow. Here are the two types mentioned and what they do:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Next Page | Starts the new section on the following page. |
| Continuous | Starts the new section on the same page. |
Choosing the appropriate type depends on whether you want the new section to begin immediately at the cursor position on the current page (Continuous) or to force the start onto the next page (Next Page).
