Page Breaks
• The place where one page ends and another begins
is a page break. Word automatically inserts page
breaks or you can insert one manually.
• A manual page break would
prevent an automatic page
break from separating a
heading from the text that
follows, or you might want to
start a new section of a
document on a new page

Page Breaks
• When inserting manual page breaks avoid creating
widows and orphans.
– An orphan is when the
last line of a paragraph
appears at the top of a
page.
– A widow is when the
first line of a paragraph
appears at the bottom
of a page

Document Sections
You can divide a document into two or more
sections.
A section is a part of a document where you can
create a different layout from the rest of the
document.
You can have different headers and footers, page
numbers, margins, orientation, and other
formatting features in different sections.

Pg 89Briefly introduce which topics will be covered in this lesson so students are aware of the new skills they will learn. Remind students also that all the information is available in the book as a reference so they don’t need to commit anything to memory or take notes.
Pg 94-95Objective 3.1Ensure students understand the difference between a soft page break and a manual one, as well as why you would want to insert a break code instead of just pressing Enter to get to the bottom of a page. Some people still use this method to end a page and while it may be fine to mark that there is more content to be entered in this location, they want to avoid putting in more than three as it can be a huge time consumer when editing a document.Discuss how this code is just like regular text and they can delete it as if it was text. Include that in your demo so they become comfortable with that concept.

Pg 96-97Objective 3.1Students can often get confused as to what a section break is and how to use it properly. You may have to include in your demo several clear examples of when or why you might want to use each of these types of breaks. For instance, to create an envelope with the same address as provided in a letter, Word will automatically insert a section break between the envelope paper size/layout and the letter. An example of using odd and even pages would be page numbers on alternating headers and footers. For continuous section breaks, you may want to use the example below (columns are not covered in this level so be careful about getting students excited about this option, unless you want to offer it as a marketing tool at the end of your course for the Expert level);this file is also available in the Extra Files folder for your reference and distribution, if needed:
