Page Breaks If you have multiple columns in your document, a page break is the same as a column break. A page break in the last (right-most) column on a page starts subsequent text on the next page. A page break in other columns moves text to the next column on the same page. Word Processing treats the text in a document as one continuous flow of information. Whenever you insert or delete text or graphics in a document, Word Processing automatically calculates the location of page breaks and column breaks and inserts them accordingly. Automatic page breaks are called soft page breaks because their location changes depending on the amount of information in a document. You can force a page break manually by inserting a hard page break. You do this whenever you want to start a new page in a specific location, such as a bibliography page in a report or an index. If Show Invisibles is selected, the page break marker appears as a double-dagger (}) on screen. "To insert a hard page break: 1. Position the insertion point where you want to insert the page break. 2. Press CODE + ENTER. OR Choose Insert Special from the Edit menu and choose Insert Page Break from the submenu. Word Processing inserts the page break. "To delete a page break: 1. DoubleĆclick the page break marker (}) you want to delete. 2. Press DELETE. The insertion point moves to the bottom of the page in front of the page breakmarker. Word Processingremoves the page break, recalculatespagination, and redraws the screen. Managing Columns You can have multiple columns of text in a document, just like those you see in a newspaper or a magazine. Multiple columns can add visual appeal to a document and make the text easier to read. By default, a document has just one column of text. When you specify multiple columns, text flows from the bottom of one column to the top of the next in a snake-like fashion. In Page display mode, multiple columns appear side-by-side on screen. To set up multiple columns, you specify column options in the Page Setup dialog box (from the File menu). When you set multiple columns, you specify the number of columns, the gutter (or spacing) between columns, and the width of any vertical rule(s) (the lines in between the columns). Word Processing initially calculates a uniform column width for all columns based on the number of columns, the spacing between columns, the size of the page, the page orientation, and the page margins.
