Insert and Delete Page Breaks

As I discussed in Lesson 1, you can display a document in five different views: Read Mode, Print Layout, Web Layout, Outline, and Draft. In Print Layout view, you see your document as it will appear when you print it; you can clearly see where each page ends and a new page begins.

As you review your document, you may find that you want to change where a new page begins. For example, you may want every chapter to start on a new page. You can insert a page break. Later, if you change your mind, you can remove the page break.

Insert a Page Break

1. Place the insertion point where you want your page break.

1. Choose the Insert tab.
2. Click Page Break in the Pages group. Word inserts your page break.

Delete a Page Break

1. Place the insertion point immediately before the page break you want to delete.
2. Press the Delete key. Word removes your page break.

Tip

You can also use the Page Layout tab to insert a page break: 1) Place the insertion point where you want your page break. 2) Choose the Page Layout tab. 3) Click the down-arrow next to the Breaks command in the Page Setup group. A menu appears. 4) Click Page. Word inserts your page break.
