Insert section breaks
Section breaks allow you to apply different layouts or formatting styles to a certain part of your document. For example, you can use individual headers and footers, page numbering, footnotes format, margins, size, orientation, or column number for each separate section.
Note: An inserted section break defines formatting of the preceding part of the document.
To insert a section break at the current cursor position:
-
Click the
Breaks icon on the Insert or Layout tab of the top toolbar. -
Select the Insert Section Break submenu.
-
Select the necessary section break type:
-
Next Page: to start a new section from the next page
-
Continuous Page: to start a new section on the current page
-
Even Page: to start a new section from the next even page
-
Odd Page: to start a new section from the next odd page
The added section breaks are indicated in your document with a double dotted line:
If you do not see the inserted section breaks, click the 
icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar to display them.
To remove a section break, select it with the mouse and press the Delete key. Since a section break defines formatting of the previous section, when you remove a section break, this section formatting will also be deleted. When you delete a section break, the text before and after the break is combined into one section. The new combined section will use the formatting from the section that followed the section break.
