To insert a section break in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:

1. Place your cursor where you want the new section to begin in your document.
2. Go to the Layout tab on the ribbon at the top of Word.
3. Click on Breaks to open the dropdown menu.
4. Under the Section Breaks section, choose the type of section break you need:
   • Next Page : Starts the new section on the next page.
   • Continuous : Starts the new section on the same page (useful for changing formatting like columns without a page break).
   • Even Page : Starts the new section on the next even-numbered page.
   • Odd Page : Starts the new section on the next odd-numbered page.

This will insert a section break, allowing you to apply different formatting (such as headers, footers, columns, or page orientation) to each section independently

. Note: Section breaks cannot be inserted in Word for the web; you need the desktop application to add them
