Microsoft Word 提供了许多功能(Microsoft Word offers a lot of features)，包括使格式化(formatting)和页面设置更容易的工具。如果格式不正确，长 Word(Long Word)文档可能难以阅读。格式化它们并使文本更易于阅读的方法之一是使用分节符。
在本文中，您将学习如何使用分节符重新排列 Word 页面(rearrange your Word pages)并提高文档的可读性。我们还将介绍几种类型的分节符，并向您展示如何删除它们。
什么是分节符？
顾名思义，分节符是将文档分成多个部分的格式化元素。
有不同类型的分节符；每个都可以让您更好地控制文档，使其易于阅读且更具吸引力。例如，它们可以帮助您组织文档、留出空间或将页面分成几列。
分节(Between Section)和分页符(Page Break)之间的区别
当您在Word文档中插入分页符时，后续文本将始终从下一页开始。Page Break是一个很棒的工具，可以在书中开始新章节或文章中的新章节。
分节符不同于分页符。随后的文本不一定从新页面开始。相反，文本可以在同一页面上继续，使其看起来整洁且井井有条。
分节符的类型
Microsoft Word中有四种类型的分节符。
1. 下一页分节符
光标右侧的所有文本（您可以将其放置在您认为合适的任何位置）将被强制放入下一页的新部分。您对已传输的文本执行的所有格式设置都将传递到新部分。
2. 连续分节
连续分节符(Break)将在同一页面上创建一个新部分。这意味着您可以在同一页面上拥有两种不同的文本，采用其他格式。
3.奇数页分节符
与下一页类似，奇数页(Odd Page)将光标向右移动，但这次是到下一个奇数页。这意味着，如果您正在处理第 5 页上的文本并插入Odd Page Section Break，您的文本将被移动到第 7 页的顶部，而第 6 页则为空白。这对于创建新书章节非常方便，因为它们通常从奇数页(odd-numbered pages)开始。
4.偶数分页符
偶数页分节符(Even Page Section Break)与前一个分节符的作用相同，但具有偶数页。如果您正在处理第 6 页，则可以自动继续第 8 页的文档，而将第 7 页留空。
分页符的类型
了解分节符和分页符之间的区别以及何时使用它们至关重要。Microsoft Word中只有两种分页符(Page Break)类型，但它们会给您提供非常不同的格式结果。
1.简单的分页符
一个简单的分页符会将光标右侧的所有文本移动到下一个直接页面。它是奇数页还是偶数页都没有关系。
2. 分栏
分栏符将您的文档分成几列。Word会将光标右侧的所有文本移动到下一列的顶部。您可以有任意数量的列，但您可能希望文档看起来美观有序。超过三列可能很难阅读。
如何在Word 文档中(Word Document)插入分节符(Insert Section Breaks)
一旦您知道需要哪种类型的分节符，将其插入MS Word文档就非常简单。将光标准确地放在您计划划分文档的位置，然后转到Layout，单击Breaks，然后从下拉菜单中选择您想要的分节或分页符类型。
还有一个键盘快捷键可以快速将分页符插入到您的文档中。光标位于要添加分页符的位置后，只需按Ctrl + Enter。
如何查看现有的分节符(Existing Section Breaks)
分节和分页符在Word文档中不可见。您可以看到它们的效果，但默认情况下您无法将它们视为符号。这是因为默认视图仅显示将要打印的内容。
在编写、编辑和格式化文档时，您会希望看到不同的元素，例如段落标记、空格标记、节和分页符。要查看所有这些元素，请转到“主页”(Home)选项卡并单击“段落(Paragraph)”按钮以显示所有段落标记。
如何删除分节(Delete Section)和分页符(Page Breaks)
显示所有分节和分页符也是删除它们的一步。但是，要删除它们，您需要查看它们。
删除分节符就像选择它们并按键盘上的退格键或删除键一样简单。要选择，请直接单击分页符或分节符三次，或将光标现在放在它后面。
请记住，一旦您删除了一个节或分页符，该节的文本也将失去其格式并采用下一节的格式。
How to Insert a Section Break in Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word offers a lot of features, including tools that make formatting and page setup easier. Long Word documents can be difficult to read if they are not formatted correctly. One of the ways to format them and make the text easier to read is with section breaks.
In this article, you’ll learn how to use section breaks to rearrange your Word pages and improve the readability of your document. We’ll also go through several types of section breaks and show you how to remove them.
What Is a Section Break?
As the name suggests, the section breaks are formatting elements that divide a document into sections.
There are different types of section breaks; each will give you better control over your document, making it easy to read and more attractive. For example, they can help you structure your document, leave space, or divide a page into columns.
Difference Between Section and Page Break
When you insert a page break on your Word document, the succeeding text will always start on the next page. Page Break is a fantastic tool for starting new chapters in a book or a new section in an article.
Section breaks are different from page breaks. The succeeding text doesn’t necessarily start on the new page. Instead, the text can continue on the same page, making it look neat and well organized.
Types of Section Breaks
There are four types of section breaks in Microsoft Word.
1. Next Page Section Break
All the text that is right of the cursor (which you position wherever you see fit) will be forced into a new section on the next page. All the formatting you performed on the text that has been transferred will be carried through to the new section.
2. Continuous Section Break
A Continuous Section Break will create a new section on the same page. This means you can have two different texts, with other formatting, on the same page.
3. Odd Page Section Break
Similar to the Next Page, the Odd Page will move the text right of the cursor, but this time to the next odd-numbered page. This means that if you’re working on a text on page 5 and you insert the Odd Page Section Break, your text will be moved to the top of page 7, leaving page 6 blank. This is very convenient for creating new book chapters, as they usually begin on odd-numbered pages.
4. Even Page Section Break
The Even Page Section Break does the same as the previous section break, but with even-numbered pages. If you are working on page 6, you can automatically continue the document on page 8, leaving page 7 blank.
Types of Page Breaks
It’s essential to understand the difference between section and page breaks and when to use them. There are only two Page Break types in Microsoft Word, but they will give you very different formatting results.
1. Simple Page Break
A simple page break will move all the text right of the cursor to the next immediate page. It doesn’t matter if it’s an odd or even-numbered page.
2. Column Break
A column break breaks your document into columns. Word will move all the text right of the cursor to the top of the next column. You can have any number of columns, but you may want your document to look nice and orderly. More than three columns can be very awkward to read.
How to Insert Section Breaks in a Word Document
Once you know what type of a section break you need, inserting it into an MS Word document is very simple. Place your cursor exactly where you plan to divide the document, then go to Layout, click on Breaks, and choose which type of section or page break you want from the drop-down menu.
There is also a keyboard shortcut for quickly inserting a page break into your document. Once your cursor is in the position where you want to add a page break, simply press Ctrl + Enter.
How to View Existing Section Breaks
The section and page breaks are invisible in Word documents. You can see their effect, but you cannot see them by default as symbols. This is because the default view displays only what will be printed.
When you’re writing, editing, and formatting your document, you will want to see the different elements such as paragraph marks, space marks, sections, and page breaks. To see all these elements go to the Home tab and click on the Paragraph button to show all paragraph marks.
How to Delete Section and Page Breaks
Displaying all section and page breaks is one step toward removing them too. However, to delete them, you will need to see them.
Removing section breaks is as simple as selecting them and hitting the backspace or delete key on your keyboard. To select, click directly on the page or section break three times, or position your cursor now after it.
Keep in mind that once you delete a section or a page break, the text of that section will also lose its formatting and adopt the formatting of the next section.
