WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:14.980 When you're working on a multi-page document, sometimes you may want to have more control 00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:17.350 over exactly how the text flows. 00:00:17.350 --> 00:00:20.480 And breaks can be very helpful in those cases. 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.860 This document is a corporate sales report, and towards the end is a revenue summary. 00:00:25.860 --> 00:00:29.790 Right now, it's getting cut off between pages 3 and 4, and I'd really prefer to have it 00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:31.390 all on the same page. 00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:36.710 I could just press Enter until the summary reaches the top of page 4... but if I wanted 00:00:36.710 --> 00:00:40.070 to add or delete something in another part of the document, that would cause this part 00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:42.070 to shift, and I'd have to readjust it. 00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:44.590 And I'd rather not have to worry about that. 00:00:44.590 --> 00:00:50.210 Instead, I'm going to insert a page break. 00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:53.611 To create a page break, place the insertion point right before the text that you want 00:00:53.611 --> 00:00:55.129 to move. 00:00:55.129 --> 00:01:00.989 Then go to the Insert tab... and click the Page Break command. 00:01:00.989 --> 00:01:05.250 The summary has now been bumped to the next page, and it will stay at the top of the page, 00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:10.470 even if I change something else in the document. 00:01:10.470 --> 00:01:16.560 You'll find even more options on the Page Layout tab... under Breaks. 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:21.640 Here you can insert a page break or another type of break, depending on what you need. 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.570 The Column break controls the flow of text in a column... while the Text Wrapping break 00:01:26.570 --> 00:01:30.210 can help you manage text that's wrapped around an object. 00:01:30.210 --> 00:01:33.940 Then there are Section Breaks, which can be used to format different parts of your document 00:01:33.940 --> 00:01:38.100 independently. 00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:41.860 Section breaks create a barrier in your document, rather than a page break. 00:01:41.860 --> 00:01:46.600 They let you decide where certain types of formatting begin and end, including columns, 00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:50.439 page numbering styles, page orientation, and more. 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:55.350 In this example, I'd like to separate this paragraph from the two columns you see here. 00:01:55.350 --> 00:02:00.759 So I'm going to place the insertion point in front of the paragraph... and then click 00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:03.799 Breaks. 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.770 Next Page is a type of section break that will move the section to a completely different 00:02:07.770 --> 00:02:09.950 page, which isn't what we want. 00:02:09.950 --> 00:02:16.200 Instead, we'll choose Continuous, so it stays on the same page as the columns. 00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:19.020 Now the text can be formatted separately. 00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:26.140 If we select our paragraph... then remove the two-column formatting... you can see the 00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:28.900 change immediately. 00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:34.000 Finally, I'd like to show you how to delete breaks from your document. 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.500 This can be a little bit tricky because breaks are invisible. 00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:42.980 To make them easier to find, go to the Home tab, and click the Show/Hide command. 00:02:42.980 --> 00:02:46.720 Now we can see page breaks, paragraphs, and other formatting symbols that are normally 00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:48.770 hidden. 00:02:48.770 --> 00:02:53.940 To delete a break, place the cursor to the left of the break, or select it. 00:02:53.940 --> 00:02:59.450 Then press Delete on your keyboard... and the break will disappear. 00:02:59.450 --> 00:03:02.880 There are lots of situations in Word where breaks might come in handy. 00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:05.910 Now that you know how to use them, you can set up your document exactly the way that 00:03:05.910 --> 00:03:06.510 you want.
