Business Computing Tips

By K&K Fainges kfainges@...

The next few K-Tips will cover the commands on the INSERT part of the
pull down menus in word.

The first of these is the BREAK. This allows you to force the text to
stop and go on to the next page or next column. Just click on INSERT,
then BREAK, then on the type of break you want.

The first option is Page Break. This means that, as many do, you do
not have to hit enter until you get to the bottom of the page to
force the next paragraph to print out at the top of a new page. Often
this can take time and mean that when you write some more, all the
formatting gets moved around again.

Page Break also has some options. Next Page, forces the text to start
again at the top of the next page. Continuous, lets you mark a place
where there is a break without actually making the text go anywhere.
That is useful for marking out areas without wasting paper.

The Even or Odd Page Break allows you to put the new page on a
specific side of an open book format. This is very useful if you want
the new page to always start on the left for example.

Column Breaks force text in columns to go to the start of the next
column. Works very much the same as a page break. Text wrapping break
is the same but for text around pictures or other items inserted into
your document.

Next K-Tips, we will cover INSERT => Symbol, Comment and Footnote.
