WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:07.930 --> 00:00:12.150 When you're working with a multi-page document, sometimes you may want to have 00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:17.660 more control over exactly how the text flows and breaks can be very helpful in those cases. 00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:23.699 This document is a corporate sales report and toward the end is a revenue summary. 00:00:24.770 --> 00:00:29.610 Right now it's getting cut off between pages three and four and I'd really 00:00:29.610 --> 00:00:32.509 prefer to have it all on the same page. 00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:37.000 I could just press Enter until the summary reaches the top of page four, 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.600 but if I wanted to add or delete something in another part of the document that 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.739 would cause this party to shift and I would have to readjust it. I would really rather not have 00:00:46.739 --> 00:00:52.210 to worry about that, so instead I'm going to insert a page break. 00:00:52.210 --> 00:00:57.670 To create a page break, place the insertion point before the text you want to move, 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.270 then go to the Insert tab 00:01:00.270 --> 00:01:03.500 and click the Page Break command. 00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:06.840 The summary has now been bumped to the next page 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:12.060 and it will stay at the top of the page even if I change something else in the document. 00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:17.440 You'll find even more options on the Layout tab under Breaks. 00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:22.940 Here you can insert a page break or another type of break depending on what you need. 00:01:23.510 --> 00:01:28.700 A column break controls the flow of text in a column ,while the text wrapping 00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:32.740 break can help you manage texts that's wrapped around an object. 00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:36.720 Then there are section breaks, which can be used to format different parts of 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:41.700 your document independently. Section breaks create a kind of barrier in your document, 00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:46.380 rather than a page break. They let you decide where certain types of 00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:51.810 formatting begin and end, including columns, page numbering styles, 00:01:51.810 --> 00:01:54.360 page orientation, and more. 00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:58.830 In this example, I'd like to separate this paragraph from the two columns you 00:01:58.830 --> 00:02:03.500 see here, so I'm going to place the insertion point in front of the paragraph. 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.970 and then click Breaks. 00:02:06.970 --> 00:02:11.260 Next Page is a type of section break that will move the section to a 00:02:11.260 --> 00:02:14.840 completely different page, which isn't what we want. 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:21.440 Instead will choose Continuous so it stays on the same page as the columns. 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:24.660 Now the text can be formatted separately 00:02:24.670 --> 00:02:30.390 If we select our paragraph, then remove the two column formatting, you can see 00:02:30.390 --> 00:02:32.460 the change immediately. 00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:36.840 Finally I'd like to show you how to delete breaks from your documents. 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.510 This can be a little bit tricky because breaks are invisible. 00:02:40.510 --> 00:02:44.340 To make them easier to find go to the Home tab 00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:47.870 and click the Show/Hide command. 00:02:47.870 --> 00:02:52.450 Now I can see page breaks paragraphs and other formatting symbols that are 00:02:52.450 --> 00:02:55.770 normally hidden 00:02:55.770 --> 00:03:01.080 To delete a break, place the cursor to the left of the break or select it, 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.520 then press Delete on your keyboard and the break will disappear. 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.970 There are a lot of situations where breaks might come in handy. Now that you know 00:03:10.970 --> 00:03:14.690 how to use them, you can set up your document exactly the way you want!
