Moving Section Breaks

As you work with Word, you will undoubtedly have a need to move a section break at one time or another. Section breaks in Word are treated the same as any other character. If you are using Normal view, section breaks appear as a thin double line from one side of your document to the other. If you are not working in Normal view, you may want to consider changing to Normal view, as editing special characters (such as the section break) is easier in Normal view.

To move a section break, follow these steps:

1. Select the section break just as you would select any other text.
2. Press Ctrl+X. The section break is cut from your document.
3. Position the insertion point where you want to insert the section break.
4. Press Ctrl+V. The section break is inserted in your document.
