Breaks

The Breaks tool in Word is used to get your documents formatted better. Most of us have used Page
Breaks in Word, but Word also includes several other breaks to he
help your format your documents.

You can insert a Page Break from the Insert tab. All the other breaks are listed in the Page Layout
tab. Click the Breaks button and you will see all 7 page and section breaks.

Page Break

You can add Page Break from the Insert tab or the Page Layout
tab. Page
age breaks only start you on the next page; all formatting
will be kept the same from your original page to your new one.
Use this when you want to just start typing on a new page but
want the formatting to all stay the same.
Column Break

Column Break is used to move you to the next column,

leaving your previous text in the first column. If you go
back and add more text to the first column, itll just go on
down in the same column unless you add enough to
overflow it.

Text Wrapping

Want to have caption text around a picture? Select the text

beside the picture, and select Text Wrapping.
Wrapping This will let
you keep this text together with consistent formatting, and
will flow the rest of the document around this section.

Next Page, Section Break, and Even/Odd Page Breaks

The
he Next Page break moves you to the next page and gives
you entirely separate formatting in the new section. The
Even and Odd Page breaks let you insert a section break and
go to the next even or odd page,
age, respectively, so you can
easily format your documents for left and right pages in a
book. Alternately, the Continuous break does the same
thing without putting you on a new page.

Want to switch from 2 column texts to single column, or

want to apply a new font scheme to only the cover page?
This is the break youll want. Now you can format a full
document with cover, contents, and references, all with their
own unique formatting but saved in the same document.
Using Section Breaks with Footers

Formatting
atting footers correctly takes a bit more work. By default, your document footers will have the
same content even on pages with section breaks. To change this, double-click
click a header or footer in
the new section of your document, and click the Link to Previous button to turn linking off. Now
your footers and headers will be fully unique between your document sections.

You can also choose to just keep your first page or your odd and even pages with different footers
and headers. To do this, check the appropriate box on Options in the Footer and Header Design tab.
