Sections

If you need to vary the page margins or the number of columns in different parts of a document, you need to create sections. Each section contains its own settings for margins and columns.

To Create a New Section

Place the editor’s cursor at the position where the new section is to start. Then, on the editor’s menu, select Insert | Insert Break | Section Break. A break line will appear. The new section begins after the break line.

To Set the Section’s Columns and Orientation

Place the editor’s cursor anywhere in the section. Then, on the editor’s menu, select Edit | Edit Section.

To Set the Section’s Margins

Place the editor’s cursor anywhere in the section. Then, on the editor’s menu, select File | Page Layout.

To Delete a Section break line

To delete a section break line, place the cursor immediately before the section break line and press the Del key, or place it immediately after the break line and press the Backspace key. The sections before and after the line will merge. NOTE that the preceding section will assume the characteristics of the section below the break line. So, you may need to use Edit | Edit Section to set the characteristics of the merged sections.

NOTE: Sections are not available in plain-text mode. See Editing Modes.
