FAQ
Why does a large blank area appear after I insert a page break?

- If there is still a lot of space left on the previous page, that area remains blank.
- You can delete the page break or adjust the content on the previous page before inserting it again.
What is a section break used for?
- A section break divides a document into multiple sections.
- Different sections can use different page orientation, margins, headers and footers, page numbers, or column settings.
- If different parts of the document need different layout settings, use a section break.
What is the difference between a column break and a page break?
- A page break moves the following content to the next page.
- A column break moves the following content to the next column and is usually used in multi-column documents.
- If the document is not using columns, the effect of a column break may be less obvious than a page break.
What should I do if I cannot find the page break or section break markers?
- Open the document and go to the relevant display settings under
View. - Turn on the option that shows document marks.
