Moving Breaks Quickly
Summary: Breaks in a document can be easily moved from one place to another using familiar editing techniques. The trick is to make sure that you are viewing your document in Normal or (in Word 2007) Draft view. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
In several WordTips you learn how to insert breaks into your text. If, after inserting them, you discover that you need to move the break to a new location, you can follow these steps:
- Make sure you are in Normal view. (Draft view in Word 2007.) This process is much easier if you are working in either Normal view or Draft view.
- Select the break, just as you would select any other text.
- Press Ctrl+X. The break is cut from your document.
- Position the insertion point where you want to insert the break.
- Press Ctrl+V. The break is inserted in your document.
