Page, Frame and Line Breaks

A page break stops the text flow on the page and begins the text again on the next page.  The program automatically inserts page breaks to ensure text prints correctly.  However, it may be necessary to sometimes insert manual page breaks in more desirable locations. When working in frames, a page break is treated the same as a frame break.

A frame break, on the other hand, is a break in the flow of text between two, linked frames or columns in a full-page document.

For more information about frames and linked frames, see the topic Working with Word Processing Frames.

To Insert a Page Break

  1. Position the insertion point (blinking bar) where you want to place the page break.

  2. Select Insert Page Break from the Format menu.   You can also press [ALT] + [ENTER] to insert a page break.

To Insert a Frame Break

  1. Position the insertion point where you want to place the frame break. 

  2. Select Insert Frame Break from the Format menu.  The text is broken and wrapped to the next linked frame or column.  If there are no linked frames or columns, this command inserts a simple line break.

To Insert a Line Break

  1. Position the insertion point where you want to place the line break. 

  2. Select Insert Line Break from the Format menu.  The text is broken and started on the next line.  A line break is the same as pressing [ENTER] on the keyboard.
