Alright. In this module I want to talk about controlling the breaks in your document and this is especially important when you're dealing with a word processing document because as you've seen earlier, the default way that we decide if new information is going to go on a different page is that if we just keep typing, it's eventually going to go down to start a new page on its own. It'll make that page break for you. Well, you certainly have the ability to control this a little more readily than letting pages do it for you and that is to insert and to know what you're doing when you're making breaks. So for example, I'll give you a couple of examples here. This is a hard return. This is the most common one. I've just hit enter on the keyboard and then I type a new paragraph. Just like this. And this is significant because if I select the entire paragraph here, I can do so with a triple click and select the entire paragraph, and this again becomes a new paragraph here and I've triple clicked and selected the whole thing. This can be significant when you're applying styles because there are paragraph styles which would apply to the entire paragraph. So again, I can see that there's a hard return here, that there's a new paragraph after that insertion point. So to get rid of it, I set the insertion point somewhere after that paragraph break and I delete it. Now, if I hold down the Shift key and do the same thing, I'd just make a line break and this is not creating a new paragraph and so I'm going to do it again and what you'll see here is now if I triple click even up here, it selects the entire thing and you can see these little marks which mean that I've made the equivalent of a carriage return without doing a new paragraph. So again, shift, enter or return creates that non-breaking line break or non-new paragraph line break. You can also see these, by the way, if you choose the view button and show your invisibles. So that can be helpful in keeping track of where those hard returns are in your document. So now if I created a style here, if I wanted to apply a style that was a paragraph style, like, let's just say name, it would apply to that entire paragraph. And I'll just go ahead and undo that and make the styles go away once again or I'll just skootch this over. So there we go. I'm going to hide this once again or hide my invisibles and now I'm going to make sure that this new paragraph goes on a new page. So maybe I've reached the end of the content. I plan on putting a big picture on here or something like that. What'll I'll do is I will use the insert menu and insert a page break. We'll deal with these others later on. Don't worry about it. But insert page break. Now the new paragraph goes on indeed a new page. I can show my invisibles and now you see that here's two soft breaks and there is my page break right there. Now, to delete it, it's still the same procedure. All I have to do is set the insertion point somewhere after that page break, which I do have right here. There's my insertion point. And I hit the delete key and now that page break goes away. So again, insert page break. Anything I put after this, if there's my insertion point and I can add new text here, but if I go one space with the arrow to the right, now I'm dealing with a new page, as you can see.
