When you’re working on a long document, separating it into different parts makes it much easier to navigate. Microsoft Word eases your workflow by letting you insert document breaks, namely section and page breaks.
As you’ll see in this article by defining section and page breaks you can apply specific formatting elements in different parts of your document. You’ll also have better control over pagination.
Read on to learn how to use section and page breaks in Word to make your document more visually appealing and easier for readers to make their way around. Finally, we’ll show you some great sources for professionally designed Word templates.
How to Add Breaks in MS Word (Quick Start Video)
Are you ready to learn how how to insert breaks in MS Word? The short video below will give you a head start on inserting, viewing, and deleting MS Word section and page breaks:
To learn even more about breaks in Word (including the difference betwen section breaks and page breaks), study the written tutorial below.
Understanding Section and Page Breaks
Section and page breaks are types of breaks or partitions in a Word document. In this section, you’ll learn some basics:
1. Microsoft Word Section Break vs Page Break
A page break is a partition in the text of the document. At a page break, the succeeding text is automatically placed on top of a new page.
But, with a section break for Word the text is partitioned — along with the formatting associated with it:
- page numbers
- margins
- headers and footers
- paper size and/or orientation
Also, a Microsoft Word section break may or may not begin on a new page (more on that below).
2. Why Use Microsoft Section and Page Breaks?
Section and page breaks are useful for partitioning different parts of a document, especially a long one.
In a book, you’d use section breaks to divide it into chapters as well as delineate the front matter from the back matter. The title page, copyright page, table of contents, individual chapters, index, etc., would be separate sections.
For example, you usually want a new chapter of a book (or similar) document to begin on a new page. This is when a page break is most useful.
A section break for MS Word is useful for visually distinguishing parts of a document. An example of where you might use a section break is in a proposal where you want the summary to have a different layout. In this case, the summary section could have its own header, footer, and margins that are different from the rest of the document.
By using section breaks, each chapter can have a different running header, including the chapter title.
Microsoft Word Section breaks also let you use lower case numbers for page numbers on the introduction of the book and Arabic numerals on the rest of the pages.
Similarly, a section break in Microsoft Word lets you use a two-column format in the index section and a single column everywhere else.
You’ll also want to use section and page breaks when you want to control the pagination of your document. For example, the first page of your document may be a cover page. But you don’t want the cover page to be page 1 of your document. By inserting a section break after the cover page, you can make the next page be page 1.
You accomplish these results by inserting different types of section and page breaks in Word.
3. Types of Microsoft Word Section Breaks
There are four types of section breaks in MS Word:
- Next Page. This type of section break forces the text to the right of the cursor to a new section on the following page. All the formatting associated with the text is carried through to the new section as well.
- Continuous. A continuous section break creates a new section but keeps the text on the same page. This means two different sections can have their own formatting yet remain on the same page.
- Odd Page. This kind of section break moves the text to the right of the cursor to the top of the next odd-numbered page. If you’re on page 3, for example, and you insert an Odd Page Section Break, the next section will start on top of page 5 (page 4 will be blank). Book chapters usually begin on the next odd page of the book.
- Even Page. An Even Page section break moves the text to the right of the cursor to the top of the next even-numbered page. So, if you’re on page 6 and you insert an Even Page Section Break, the new section will begin on page 8 (leaving page 7 blank).
4. Types of Page Breaks
As for Microsoft Word page breaks, there are two kinds:
- Simple Page Breaks. A simple page break moves text to the right of the cursor to the top of the next page.
- Column Breaks. If your document is broken up into columns, a column break moves text to the right of the cursor to the top of the next column.
How to View Existing Breaks in an MS Word Doc
By default, section and page breaks are invisible in Word. You can only see their effects. You’ll see changes in formatting and pagination for each section. That’s because these breaks don’t appear when the document is printed.
As you’re editing and formatting your document, you may need to see page and section breaks. To view existing page and section breaks in Word, on the Home tab, then click on the Paragraph button.
How to Insert Section Breaks in Your Word Docs
To insert a page or section break, place the cursor where you want one section/page to end and the next section/page to begin.
Go to Insert > Break, then choose the specific type of page break or section break you want to insert.
Or, click on the Layout tab. Then click on the Breaks button on the ribbon and select the type of page or section break you wish to insert.
How to Remove/Delete Section and Page Breaks in Word
To remove a section or page break in Word, first display all the breaks.
Select the section or page break you want to remove by highlighting it. Click on either the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.
When you delete a section break, the text in the section adopts the formatting of the next section.
Tips for Using Section and Page Breaks in MS Word
Are you just getting comfortable with using Microsoft Word section and page breaks? Here are some extra tips to help you use them effectively:
1. Keep Your Section Breaks to a Minimum
Insert a section break in Word only when you have to (see above for when it’s a good idea to do so). Having more sections than necessary makes it more difficult to make global changes to your document, because you’d have to manually make those changes in each section.
2. Pay Attention to Which Section You’re In
If you’ve divided your document into sections, always be aware of what section you’re in when you make formatting changes. That’s because these changes will apply only to the section you’re currently in — that’s the section where your cursor is. If you want to make a formatting change to apply to the whole document, select the entire document first before making your changes.
3. Microsoft Word May Change a Continuous Section Break to the Other Section Break Types
You may be surprised that your continuous section break has been converted into a different type of section break. This happens when you’ve got a continuous section break. Then, in the next section, you try to apply a different header/footer, pagination, margins, or page size and orientation. Those formatting changes require a page break. And so, Word will automatically change the section break type to one that results in a page break.
Streamline Your Microsoft Word Workflow With Templates
There are other ways to streamline your MS Word workflow. One of them is using premium Word templates, like the ones you’ll find at Envato. Premium templates for Microsoft Word are created by professional designers to provide impressive layouts. These templates are customizable with your content, images, and branding.

Now you know how to use section and page breaks in Microsoft Word to better organize your document. Section breaks also let you have more granular control over the formatting of specific parts of your document. These make your document look better as well as easier to read and navigate through.
Use the steps you learned in this article to properly use section and page breaks. Also, use Word templates to make it much easier and faster to create impressive documents.

The updated answer should be:
overflow-wrap:break-word;
It will break a word that by itself would not be able to fit on its own line, but leave all other words as they are (see overflow-wrap here).
You could also use:
overflow-wrap:anywhere;
but this will allow line breaks after any word in an effort to reduce the width of an element. See the difference described below from MDN:
[break-word is] The same as the anywhere value, with normally unbreakable words allowed to be broken at arbitrary points if there are no otherwise acceptable break points in the line, but soft wrap opportunities introduced by the word break are NOT considered when calculating min-content intrinsic sizes.
Also, anywhere
is not supported by Internet Explore, Safari, and some mobile browsers while break-word
is supported on all major browsers (see [here][2]).
word-break: break-word;
should no longer be used because it is deprecated in favor of the overflow-wrap:break-word;
. Now, the word-break
property is intended to be used when you want to break words regardless of whether they could fit on their own line (i.e. the OP’s first example with word-break: break-all
.
In contrast to word-break, overflow-wrap will only create a break if an entire word cannot be placed on its own line without overflowing.
(From overflow-wrap also linked above )
When we see two lines of words in an MS Word document, we don’t get to see what is separating them. There are severl characters that act as line break. There are several names; line break, new line, carriage return, paragraph break etc.
Today, while doing a bit of data processing, I was required to remove all the line breaks (carriage return) in an MS-Word document and replace line breaks with a comma. I was processing a long list of email addresses with one email address per line. And I wanted this list to become a comma separated list (CSV); so as to use it somewhere else.
In MS-Word, paragraph break is represented by invisible character (¶) which looks like a horizontally flipped P letter. You can toggle the visibility of this character by clicking a button given on the Home tab in MS Word. The button bears the same ¶ symbol. You should click this button to be able to see what exactly is separating the lines.
Our tips on MS-Word make your life easier and increase your productivity at work.
If lines are breaking because of paragraph break then ¶ will appear at the end of the lines. If lines are breaking due to line break (carriage return), a left-angled arrow symbol will appear at the end. Let’s first see how to deal with paragraph break:
How to Remove / Replace Paragraph Break
- Open the Word document that you want to work on
- Press CTRL + H to bring up the Find and Replace box
- In the “Find what” box type ^p [this upward arrow character is called caret and is usually available on a number key]
- In “Replace with” box type a comma
- Click on Replace All button.
Thus all the paragraph breaks in you document will get replaced by a comma. You can use whatever character(s) you like in “Replace with” box. For example, if you want to replace every paragraph break with two paragraph breaks –then you should type ^p^p in “Replace with” box.
If you simply want to remove paragraph breaks; just leave the “Replace with” box blank. And you’ll get a monolithic chunk of text!

Lesson 15: Breaks
/en/word2013/hyperlinks/content/
Introduction
Adding breaks to your document can make it appear more organized and can improve the flow of text. Depending on how you want to change the pagination or formatting of your document, you can apply a page break or a section break.
Optional: Download our practice document.
To insert a page break:
Page breaks allow you to move text to the next page before reaching the end of a page. You might use a page break if you’re writing a paper that has a title page or a bibliography to ensure it starts on a new page. In our example, our chart is split between two pages. We’ll add a page break so the chart will be all on one page.
- Place the insertion point where you want to create the break. In our example, we’ll place it at the beginning of our chart.
Placing the insertion point
- On the Insert tab, click the Page Break command. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Enter on your keyboard.
Clicking the Page Break command
- The page break will be applied to the document, and the text will move to the next page. In our example, the chart moved to the next page.
The new page break
By default, breaks are hidden. If you want to show the breaks in your document, click the Show/Hide command.
Showing a page break
Section breaks
Section breaks create a barrier between parts of a document, allowing you to format each section independently. For example, you may want one section to have two columns without adding columns to the entire document. Word offers several types of section breaks:
Section Breaks in Word
- Next Page: This option adds a section break and moves text after the break to the next page of the document. This is useful for creating a new page with normal formatting after a page that contains column formatting.
- Continuous: This option inserts a section break and allows you to continue working on the same page. This type of break is useful when you need to separate a paragraph from columns.
- Even Page and Odd Page: These options add a section break and move the text after the break to the next even or odd page. These options may be useful when you need to begin a new section on an even or odd page (for example, a new chapter of a book).
To insert a section break:
In our example, we’ll add a section break to separate a paragraph from a two-column list. This will allow us to change the formatting of the paragraph so it no longer appears formatted as a column.
- Place the insertion point where you want to create the break. In our example, we’ll place it at the beginning of the paragraph we want to separate from column formatting.
Placing the insertion point
- On the Page Layout tab, click the Breaks command, then select the desired section break from the drop-down menu that appears. In our example, we’ll select Continuous so our paragraph remains on the same page as the columns.
Selecting a section break
- A section break will appear in the document.
The new section break
- The text before and after the section break can now be formatted separately. Apply the formatting options you want. In our example, we’ll apply one-column formatting to the paragraph so it is no longer formatted as columns.
Applying a new format
- The text will be formatted in the document.

Other types of breaks
When you want to format the appearance of columns or modify text wrapping around an image, Word offers additional break options that can help.
Additional break options
- Column: When creating multiple columns, you can apply a column break to balance the appearance of the columns. Any text following the column break will begin in the next column. To learn more about how to create columns in your document, visit our lesson on Columns.
The Column break
- Text wrapping: When text has been wrapped around an image or object, you can use a text-wrapping break to end the wrapping and begin typing on the line below the image.
The Text Wrapping break
To delete a break:
By default, breaks are hidden. If you want to delete a break, you’ll first need to show the breaks in your document.
- On the Home tab, click the Show/Hide command.
Clicking the Show/Hide command
- Locate the break you want to delete. Place the insertion point at the beginning of the break you want to delete.
Placing the insertion point
- Press the Delete key. The break will be deleted from the document.
After the page break has been removed
Challenge!
- Open an existing Word document. If you want, you can use our practice document.
- Insert a page break somewhere in the document. If you’re using the example, insert a page break to move the Clients Overview section to the next page.
- Insert a section break in the document. If you’re using the example, insert a Next Page section break to move the Updated Chain of Command section to the next page. Try changing the formatting of paragraph in that section.
- Show the breaks using the Show/Hide command.
- Delete a break. If you’re using the example, delete the page break after the fourth paragraph on page 1 of the document to move the two paragraphs on page 2 onto page 1.
