What is a page break in Microsoft Word?
Before the massive use of computers as a device for compose textpeople used to use typewriters. A lot of the tools we found in the program interface as Word, come from there. This is the case of page break.
Beforewhen you wanted to go on to write the next sheet, You just had to remove the current one and replace it with a new one.. With software it is impossible to perform this action. However, if we want to go to the next page of a document we can use the tool “page break”. although the same it does it automatically when it reaches the end of the available spacewe can force it through a command.
It will tell the program no we will write nothing on the current page and that we will continue to do so in the next. This will prevent us from making unnecessary line breaks to get to the next blank page.
When is it convenient to insert a page break in Word?
There are several reasons why we must use this tool above other methods. The main one is to avoid the use of the key “Enter” in order to skip the page. Doing the latter we can obtain a disastrous result.
Since, if we want to add a line or sentence in the text at the beginning, all those row breaks that we gave with the button will continue to go down. Leaving an unwanted blank space at the beginning of the new page that we must solve by deleting invisible characters. And by doing this, it it will mess up the rest of the text.
the same will happen if we change the margins or the sheet size. The same result will occur if we copy all the text and paste it into another document or program. So much so that it could create conflicts when passing what is written in word to a web platform HTML. To confirm it, all you have to do is press the keys “Ctrl” + “Shift” + “)”.
In case you are writing a very long document, like a book. You will need to divide it into chapters. This utility will not only save you time. Since, if you are going to print it, the correct thing will be leave blank pages to match the beginning of each segment with a odd page.
