Module 4: Page And Section Breaks
When you need more control over how a document is structured – especially in longer or more complex files – page and section breaks are indispensable. These tools let you shift content to a new page, apply formatting to just part of a document, and separate sections for different layouts. They’re especially useful when managing page numbers, headings, or content with columns (such as in newsletters or brochures).
Learning how to use breaks to manage layout allows you to more efficiently create documents that are easy to navigate.
