Varying Document Formatting Using Section Breaks

Use section breaks in your document wherever you want to separate your document

into sections with different layouts, numbering, or other document formatting. You

can use sections to make the following formatting elements different from one part of

your document to the next:

 Formatting and layout attributes

 Headers

 Footers

 Page numbering

 Margins

 Column layout

 Master objects (repeated background images)

Creating Sections

A section consists of one or more pages that end with a section break.

Each Pages template consists of one or more predefined sections. Every time you add

pages to the document by using the Pages button in the toolbar, you add a new

section.

You can use the predefined sections as they are, or you can create or remove section

breaks to define your own sections.

To create a section break:

m

Choose Insert > Section Break.

When you show invisibles in your document, you’ll see a section break symbol that

looks like this:

After you create a section break, changes made to the master objects (see “Using

Master Objects” on page 74), headers, footers, or page numbering will apply only to

the section in which you make the changes.

To remove a section break:

m

Click at the beginning of the line that follows the break and press the Delete key.
