About This Feature
Overview
Pagination in WPS Writer for iOS lets you insert page breaks, column breaks, line breaks, and multiple section break types at a specific position in a document so that the following content continues with a new page, column, or section rule.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a page break to start following content on a new page.
- Insert a column break to move following content to the next column.
- Insert a line break to control line flow at the current position.
- Insert a next-page section break to begin a new section on the following page.
- Insert a continuous section break to begin a new section on the same page.
- Insert an even-page section break to begin a new section on the next even-numbered page.
- Insert an odd-page section break to begin a new section on the next odd-numbered page.
This feature is useful for chapter layout, multi-column documents, long-form document structure changes, and documents that need section starts based on page numbering rules.

| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS provides page break, column break, line break, next-page section break, continuous section break, even-page section break, and odd-page section break from Tools → Insert → Pagination. | Microsoft Word officially supports Next Page, Continuous, Even Page, and Odd Page section breaks, and explains when to use each type. | Google Docs for iPhone and iPad officially supports adding and removing page breaks and also supports adding a page break before a paragraph. | Notion officially provides dividers, columns, headings, and table-of-contents structure tools, but not traditional document section break controls. | Adobe Acrobat officially focuses on splitting and organizing PDF pages, which is suitable for PDF page handling rather than word-processing section layout. |
| Official Source | — | Insert a section break | Add page breaks & move margins | Format your page | How to split PDF files |
Advantage: WPS brings 7 page and section layout actions together in one mobile entry point for document structure editing on iOS.
Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit for direct page, column, and section layout work in traditional documents on iOS. Microsoft Word provides fuller official guidance for section types, Google Docs focuses more on basic page breaks, while Notion and Adobe focus on page structure blocks and PDF page handling.
