A Word document usually has only one page formatting.  However, there are times when you want a section of a document to have a different look.  Word handles these changes through the use of sections.  

To change a page format:
Click Insert / Break
Go to Section break types

 Select one of the following radio buttons:

·            Next Page. This type of section break causes Word to immediately skip to the next page and begin the new section.

·            Continuous. This section break causes Word to continue with the current section formatting until it makes sense to switch to the new section formatting. If the new section formatting can be applied immediately, it will be. Otherwise, it will take effect on the next page.

·            Even Page. When this section break is entered, Word immediately skips to the next even numbered page, inserting a blank odd-numbered page.

·            Odd Page. This type of section break causes Word to immediately skip to the next odd numbered page, inserting a blank even-numbered page.

Select the type of section break you want, then click on OK.

The section break is inserted, format the text.

You can always tell which section you are in by looking at the bottom status bar. Just to the right of the Page number is the notation Sec 1. This means you are in section 1 of your document, etc.  Remember, most documents will only have one section.
