INTRODUCTION
When you fill up a page with text, Word inserts a soft page break to end the page and wrap text to the next page. There are times, however, when you need to end a page before it's filled with text. To do so, you insert a hard page break . For example, you can use a hard page break to separate a title page from the text that follows , or to start a new section of a report at the top of the next page.
In Normal view, a soft page break appears as a horizontal dotted line running across your document.
A hard page break appears as a horizontal dotted line with the words Page Break in the middle of it.
To remove a hard page break while in Normal view, click on the dotted line and press Delete .
TIP
Previewing Page Breaks
You can see the results of inserting a hard page break most clearly by switching to Print Preview or by changing the Zoom setting in Print Layout view to Whole Page. (See "Previewing a Document" and "Magnifying a Document" in Part 5.)
