When executing a multi-page document, there will be times when you want to control the text flow more accurately. Adding Breaks to a document can help you organize the structure more closely and more coherently and can improve text flow. Depending on how you want to change paging or document format, you can apply page break or section break .

Please see the video How to break pages, paragraph breaks in Word 2013 below:

Page break - page break

Page break allows you to move the text to the next page before the end of a page. You can use page breaks if you are writing an article with a title page or a directory ( reference book reference ) to make sure it starts on a new page. In the example below, our chart is divided between two pages. We add a page break so the chart is displayed entirely on a page.

Insert page break

1. Place the insertion point where you want to create space. In the example, we will place it in front of the chart.

Section break - Breaking the segment

The section break creates lines between different parts of the document, allowing you to format each section separately. For example, you want a section to be divided into two columns without the need to add columns to the document. Word 2013 offers several break sections such as:

1. Next Page : This option adds a paragraph break and moves the text after switching to the next page of the document. This is useful for creating a new page with a standard format after a page containing column format.
2. Continuous : This option inserts a segment break and allows you to continue working on the same page. This type of page break is useful when you need to split a paragraph from columns.
3. Even Page and Odd Page : These options add segment breaks and move text after breaking into odd or even pages. These options can be useful when you need to start a new section on an even or odd page ( for example, a new chapter of a book ).

Insert segment breaks

In the example below, we have added a paragraph break to separate a paragraph from the two column list. This will allow us to change the paragraph format so that it no longer appears to be in column format.

1. Place the insertion point where you want to break the page. In the example, we put it at the beginning of a paragraph that wants to be separated from the column format.

2. On the Page Layout tab, click the Breaks command, and then select the section you want to extract from the drop-down menu that appears. In the example, we select Continuous so the text is still on the same page as the columns.
