Section break

You can customize unique page settings and headers and footers for each section of the document.

The document consists of a single section by default. To divide a document into multiple sections, separate them from each other with a non-printable character called a section break. For example, to make each chapter a separate section in a document with three chapters, insert a section break after the first and the second chapter of the document.

To insert a section break, follow the steps below:

1.Specify where you want to insert a section break by doing one of the following:

•Place the cursor in the place of the document after which you want to insert a section break.

•If you need to insert a page break before and after the text fragment, select this fragment first.

2.Insert a section break in one of the following ways:

•In the Insert menu, select Section Break.

•On the Toolbar, in the Insert section, click . In the insert pane that appears, click  Section Break.

To see a section break, turn on the display of non-printable characters.

To remove a section break, follow the steps described in Delete text section.
