Sections Breaks

Sections are used in Word to divide your document into different areas so different types of page formatting can be implemented.  You need to understand sections if you want to: work with columns, change page orientation, modify margins, add headers/footers or use page numbering.  

to learn more about Section Breaks.


Columns

Word lets you divide any section into a number of text columns.  Columns are defined using continuous section breaks and column breaks. 

to learn more about Columns.


Headers and Footers

Headers and Footers can be placed in any section and will display text, page numbers, watermarks etc..   It is critical to turn off the 'same as previous' feature if you do not want the contents of the header or footer appearing on every page of your document. 

to learn more about Headers and Footers.


Page Numbers

In Word page numbers are placed in Headers and Footer which are attached to sections.  To have page numbers display properly you must first set up a section (next page section break) and modify the header or footer you want the page numbers to go in.
