FAQ

What is the difference between a page break and pressing Return?

1. A page break forces the following content to start on a new page.
2. Pressing Return usually creates a new line or a new paragraph at the current position.
3. If you need stable page layout, use a page break instead of repeated returns.

When should I use a column break?

1. Use a column break when the document already uses a multi-column layout.
2. After insertion, the following content moves to the next column.
3. If the document is not using columns, confirm the current layout structure before you insert one.

What is the difference between a next-page section break and a continuous section break?

1. A next-page section break starts the new section on the following page.
2. A continuous section break starts the new section on the same page.
3. If you need both a new section and a new page, use a next-page section break. If you only need a new section on the current page, use a continuous section break.

Why would a formal document use odd-page or even-page section breaks?

1. Some books and formal documents require a new section to begin on a fixed odd-numbered or even-numbered page.
2. These section break types help the document follow page-number layout rules.
3. Before inserting one, check the current page position so you can predict the result more easily.
