Managing Sections

The thumbnail view makes it easy to move sections, duplicate them, copy (or cut) and

paste them, even capture them so they can be inserted using the Pages button in the

toolbar. See “Using Thumbnails” on page 48 for instructions.

Defining Section Formatting and Layout Attributes

When you insert a section break, the new document section automatically “inherits”

all of the formatting and layout attributes of the previous section. To change these

attributes, use the Layout Inspector to set up new page numbering, headers and

footers, margins, and columns.

To make headers and footers different in one section of a document:

1

Place the insertion point in the document section you want to change.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the

Layout Inspector button.

3

Click Section.

4

Deselect the checkbox labeled “Use previous headers and footers.”

5

Type the new header or footer in the header or footer area of your document.

To restart page numbering in a document section:

m

Select the “Start at” checkbox in the Section pane of the Layout Inspector, and then

enter the number of the first page of the section.
