Start the next part on a new page
Insert a Page Break when the following content should begin on a new page in the finished document. The writing surface remains continuous, so you will see the break marker rather than a literal new sheet of paper.
Use Page Break rather than adding empty paragraphs. Empty lines are easy to disturb during editing and do not express the same layout instruction.
Use a Section Break when the layout needs to change
A Section Break can change orientation, control where the section starts, choose one to three columns, and continue or restart page numbering.
You can edit an existing Page or Section Break later. The break stays in the document and carries into the PDF.
Change orientation for a section
A section can follow the document default or explicitly use Portrait or Landscape. Landscape is useful for a wide table or other material that needs more horizontal room.
The current Section Break controls do not set a separate page size or margins for each section. Page size and margins are set for the PDF as a whole.
Choose where the section begins
A section can start on a new page, continue at the current point, or start on the next odd or even page. Odd and even starts are useful for formal or book-like layouts.
A section that continues at the current point cannot also restart page numbering there. Compose resolves that conflicting combination rather than producing an ambiguous result.
Use one, two or three columns
A section can inherit the document default or use one, two or three columns. In a multi-column section, a Column Break moves the following content to the top of the next column.
Column Break is only offered where another column exists. It is not a general-purpose break that makes sense everywhere.
Continue or restart page numbers
Section settings can continue the existing page numbers or restart them at a number you choose. This is useful when title or contents pages need a different numbering sequence from the main document.
Page numbers are part of the published result, so use PDF preview to check the sequence and placement.
Check the result in PDF or Word
PDF reads Page, Section and Column Breaks when it lays out the final pages. DOCX carries supported break and section information into the editable Word document.
The PDF designer and exact preview are available on Free. Saving the PDF file or exporting DOCX requires Pro or Teams.
