Creating Multiple Sections

Creating Multiple Sections

A document can contain multiple sections, each of which can have different page setup attributes: different margins, page numbering, and headers and footers. A new document contains only one section until you insert a section break. Then you can apply page formatting to the new section independently.

To create a new section:

1.	Position the insertion point where you want the new section to begin (Figure 6.9). Figure 6.9. Place the insertion point at the location for a section break.
2.	From the Insert menu, choose Break.
3.	In the Break dialog box , choose one of the Section Breaks options (Figure 6.10). Figure 6.10. Break dialog box.
4.	Click OK. Word inserts a double dotted line labeled “Section Break” (Figure 6.11). Figure 6.11. A section break.
