Insert a section break in Microsoft Word
The first thing we will do is click anywhere on the page. This is where we are going to add a new section, therefore, the ideal would be to avoid dividing words or sentences. What we really should do is look for opportunities to break the page at the end of a paragraph or even a sentence.
Next, we are going to click on the "Designs" tab in the Word toolbar at the top
Once we are here, we will have to click on "Breaks" in "Page Settings" to open a new menu that has all the options to perform page and section breaks..
In "Section breaks", we will have to choose the type of break that we want to insert into the page. If we are not sure which one is the best for us, we can see a brief description of each one.
- Next page: breaks the text at the cursor. Everything to your right or below it moves to its own page.
- Continuous: starts a new section on the same page. This is generally used in documents that have multiple columns.
- Even page: it will start a new section on the next even page.
- Odd Page - A new section will start on the next odd page.
How to remove a section break
In order to delete or eliminate a section break in a Word document, the first thing we will have to do is click on the "Home" tab..
After this, we will proceed to click on the "Characters" icon that looks like a "P" backwards with a "T".
Then we will click on the space to the left of the break that we want to delete and press the "Del" key on the keyboard.
Switch to another type of section break
We can also change a section break to a different type of break, for this the first thing we will do is look for the section break that we want to change and we will click just to the left of it.
Now we go to the "Design" tab in the upper toolbar.
Next, we are going to click on “Breaks” to open the “Page and section breaks” menu.
We will have to choose the new type of section break we want, for this, we are going to click on any of the available options. Automatically, the type of jump will be modified according to the one we choose.
