opportunities for a better life when
you're working with a multi-page
document sometimes you may want to have
more control over exactly how the text
flows and breaks can be very helpful in
those cases this document is a corporate
sales report and toward the end is a
revenue summary right now it's getting
cut off between pages three and four and
I'd really prefer to have it all on the
same page I could just press ENTER until
the summary reaches the top of page four
but if I wanted to add or delete
something in another part of the
document that would cause this part to
shift and I'd have to readjust it and
really rather not have to worry about
that so instead I'm going to insert a
page break to create a page break place
the insertion point before the text you
want to move then go to the insert tab
and click the page break command the
summary has now been bumped to the next
page and it will stay at the top of the
page even if I change something else in
the document you'll find even more
options on the page Layout tab under
breaks here you can insert a page break
or another type of break depending on
what you need a column break controls
the flow of text in a column while the
text wrapping break can help you manage
text that's wrapped around an object
then there are section breaks which can
be used to format different parts of
your document independently section
breaks create a kind of barrier in your
document rather than a page break they
let you decide where certain types of
formatting begin and end including
columns page numbering Styles page
orientation and more in this example I'd
like to separate this paragraph from the
two columns you see here so I'm going to
place the insertion point in front of
the paragraph and then click breaks
next page is a type of section break
that will move the section to a
completely different page which isn't
what we want instead we'll choose
continuous so it stays on the same page
as the columns
now the text can be formatted separately
if we select our paragraph then remove
the two column formatting you can see
the change immediately finally I'd like
to show you how to delete breaks from
your document this can be a little bit
tricky because breaks are invisible to
make them easier to find go to the Home
tab and click the show/hide command
now we can see page breaks paragraphs
and other formatting symbols that are
normally hidden
to delete a break place the cursor to
the left of the break or select it then
press Delete on your keyboard and the
break will disappear there are a lot of
situations where breaks might come in
handy now that you know how to use them
you can set up your document exactly the
way you want
you
