Insert Page Breaks in Word
To have a clean-looking document sometimes you need to insert a page break so that the bottom of a sheet ends exactly where you want it to. Most long-time users of Word already know the benefit of using page breaks and how to use them but Office 365 has increased the options letting writers create clean-looking documents with not just the classic page break we used to use by clicking on Insert>Page Break. This will create an end to the page and start a new one.
Page Breaks
With Office 365 you have a few more options and they are as easy to use as the old version of page break. To access this feature click on “Layout” in the menu at the top of the page. Click on Page Breaks.
This will open a new menu with several more options than just ending a page and starting a new one. It still includes the regular page break but if you want to put a break in a column and have the text pick up in the next column use “Column”.
Section Breaks
The Section Breaks are different because they insert a break in a section of the page not just at the end.
Next Page – You may choose to insert a Section Break and have the rest of the text appear on the next page.
Continuous – You can insert a section break and have any new text appear as another section on the same page.
Even and Odd Page – If you had a need to create a page break but have the following text appear on the next evenly numbered page or the next odd number page you would use one of these options.
Using breaks can make a document look more professional ensuring that the reader can easily follow the information in your document.
