Word Intermediate

Dear Sarah

Thank you for attending Word Courses. I hope you enjoyed the courses and benefited from them.

Section breaks are used for splitting your documents into various sections. The advantage of doing this is that you can then have diffreent Headers/Footers in different sections or may be have one section as Landscape and the other section Portrait or may be change the margins on one section leaving the margins as original in the other section.

Please follow these steps:

Place your cursor just above where you'd llike to place the section break.

Choose Insert > Break...

There are four main types of Sections breaks namely, Next Page, Continuous, Even pages and Odd pages.

Please choose one of the options of section break

Press OK and the section break will be created.

Please bear in mind that if you are creating section breaks to have different Headers or footers or Page Margins or Orientation then it is best to choose Next Page Section break.

I hope this helps.
