When using Insert Page Break, 3 common question types come up most often: blank pages, deleting page breaks, and the difference between page breaks and section breaks.
FAQ
Why does a blank page appear after I insert a page break?
- Check whether there are extra empty paragraphs before or after the page break.
- Delete unnecessary blank lines and review the page layout again.
- If the blank page remains, check whether multiple page breaks or section breaks were inserted in a row.
What should I do if I cannot delete a page break?
- Turn on editing marks or non-printing characters first.
- Find the page break marker in the document.
- Select the marker and press Delete.
What is the difference between a page break and a next-page section break?
- A page break only moves following content to the next page.
- A next-page section break both starts a new page and creates a new section.
- If you need separate page numbers, headers, footers, or page formatting, use a next-page section break.
