About This Feature
Overview
Insert Page Break in WPS on Windows is a spreadsheet page setup feature used to manually control where printed content starts a new page.
Its main tasks include:
- Insert a horizontal page break to create a new print boundary above the selected position.
- Delete a page break to remove a manual break near the selected cell.
- Reset all page breaks to clear all manually inserted breaks and plan the print layout again.
This feature is useful for printing reports, organizing long worksheets, and keeping headers and data in better positions across pages. It helps reduce unwanted page splits and makes print layout adjustment more direct.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In spreadsheets, WPS lets you insert, delete, or reset page breaks to control print page boundaries. | Word lets you insert a page break to control where one page ends and the next begins in a document. | Google Docs lets you add page breaks and page break before for paragraphs in pages format documents. | Notion help content focuses on blocks, pages, and formatting shortcuts, and does not describe a print page break feature for worksheet-style pagination. | Acrobat focuses on PDF page organization such as splitting, extracting, and arranging pages rather than spreadsheet print page break editing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS groups insert, delete, and reset page break actions around one spreadsheet print-layout workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official page describes document page breaks, not spreadsheet print pagination controls in one workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports document page breaks, but the official guidance does not describe spreadsheet print page break reset controls. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented toward block-based content organization rather than print pagination control. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better suited to managing pages after a PDF is created, not setting worksheet print breaks during editing. |

Overall Conclusion
For spreadsheet printing, WPS is more closely aligned with manual page boundary control before output. Microsoft Word and Google Docs focus on document page breaks, Notion focuses on content blocks, and Adobe Acrobat is more suitable for page handling after a PDF already exists.
