Microsoft Word: How to Add or Remove Page Breaks

Microsoft Word: How to Add or Remove Page Breaks

August 13, 2022 by Judy Sanhz Leave a Comment

When a section you’ve created in Microsoft Words is not long enough, it can easily get lost with all the other text. But that doesn’t need to happen. You can always add a page break to end a section. If you ever change your mind, you can always go back and erase it.

How to Add a Page Break in Microsoft Word

Once the Microsoft Word file opens, locate the area where you want to insert the page break and place the cursor there. Keep in mind that everything located to the cursor’s right will be a part of the new section. Once you’ve placed it in the right area, click on the insert tab at the top.
