You can divide your document into sections to specify parts of a document that have different page settings (page margins, page orientation, paper size), column layouts, line numbering and headers and footers.
To divide a document into sections, insert section breaks.
-
Click where you want to inset a section break within a document.
-
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Breaks button and select one of the following types of section breaks.
- Column - starts a new section on the next column on the page.
- Next Page - inserts a section break and starts a new section on the next page.
- Continuous - starts the new section on the same page.
- Even Page - inserts a section break and starts a new section on the next even-numbered page.
- Odd Page - inserts a section break and starts a new section on the next odd-numbered page.
To show the section break mark, press CTRL+SHIFT+8 or on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Show/Hide Paragraph button.
In a document, section breaks are marked as illustrated below.
