Note: If you create a break by changing paragraph settings (as in the Keep Options dialog box), the break precedes the
paragraph that contains the setting. If you create a break using a special character, the break occurs immediately after
the special character.

Break options
The following options appear on the Type > Insert Break Character menu:
Column break Flows text to the next column in the current text frame. If the frame has only one column, the text
goes to the next threaded frame.
Frame break Flows text to the next threaded text frame, regardless of the current text frame’s column setup.
Page break Flows text to the next page with a text frame threaded to the current text frame.
Odd page break Flows text to the next odd-numbered page with a text frame threaded to the current text frame.
Even page break Flows text to the next even-numbered page with a text frame threaded to the current text frame.
The above break characters do not work in tables.
Forced Line Break Forces a line to break where the character is inserted.
Paragraph Return Inserts a paragraph return (the same as pressing Enter or Return).
Related break options are available in the Keep Options dialog box and in the Paragraph Style Options dialog box.
Use the Story Editor
You can edit text in InDesign either on the layout page or in the story editor window. Writing and editing in a story
editor window allows the entire story to appear in the typeface, size, and spacing that you specify in Preferences,
without layout or formatting distractions.
Each story appears in a different story editor window. All the text in the story appears in the story editor, including
overset text. You can open several story editor windows simultaneously, including multiple instances of the same
story. A vertical depth ruler indicates how much text is filling the frame, and a line indicates where text is overset.
When you edit a story, changes are reflected in the layout window. Open stories are listed in the Window menu. You
cannot create a new story in a story editor window.
