Word uses Section Breaks to divide the document in sections. Within sections, it is possible to vary the layout of the document. For example, one section can have page numbering in Roman numerals, while another section can use Arabic numbers.
The template contains two Section Breaks: just before the Table of Contents and at the beginning of Chapter 1.
Page properties, such as margins, page numbers, and number of columns are applied within a section of the document. If you need to modify these properties in a portion of your document, you will need to insert Section Breaks at the beginning and end of that portion.
To insert a section break, follow these steps:
