Word 2007: Inserting a section break

When you want to have different page numbering schemes, headers and footers, margin size, and page orientations in a document, you have to create a section break to start a new section. Word creates a new section for you when you create newspaper-style columns or change the size of margins.

To create a new section,

  1. Click where you want to insert a section break.
  2. On the Page Layout tab, click the Breaks button to open a drop-down list.
  3. Under Section Breaks on the drop-down list, choose a section break.
