Viewing section breaks

Follow these steps to learn how to view section breaks:

1. Let's open a document to work on. In this example, we will work on SectionBreaks.docx.
2. On page 2 of this document, you will notice that columns have been inserted in a particular paragraph.
3. At the start of the paragraph and the end of the paragraph are section breaks.
4. These breaks are not evident in the document, but because this section of the document contains columns, we know that they are there.
5. If a document contains section breaks, they can be viewed in three ways: by changing the document view from Print Layout to Outline view, by changing the document view from Print Layout to Draft view, and by using the Show/Hide icon on the Home tab:

6. Click on the Print Layout icon to return to the normal working view.
