Common questions about WPS Wrap and Page Break on Windows usually involve blank space at the bottom of a page, line break behavior, the difference between page breaks and section breaks, and the scope of paragraph settings.
FAQ
Why is there a large blank area at the bottom of the page?
- Select the paragraph with the issue, or press Ctrl+A to select the whole document.
- Right-click and open Paragraph, then go to the Wrap and Page Break tab.
- Check whether Widow/Orphan Control, Keep with Next, or Keep Lines Together is enabled.
- Clear any option that is not needed for the current layout, then review the page again.
How do I start a new line without creating a new paragraph?
- Place the cursor where you want the new line.
- Press Shift+Enter, or go to Insert → Breaks → Line Break.
- Continue typing and confirm that the text remains in the same paragraph.
What is the difference between a page break and a section break?
- A page break starts the following content on a new page.
- A section break can also separate sections so they can use different page orientation, headers and footers, or paper settings.
- If you only need a new page, use a page break. If you need different layout settings, use a section break.
Why did changing page orientation affect the whole document?
- Check whether you inserted a section break before changing page orientation.
- Without a section break, orientation settings apply to the whole document.
- Insert a Next Page Section Break where the change should begin, then set the orientation again.
