Default Can a Word page be divided into sections(like in WordPerfect)?

I'm not familiar with this WP feature, but I can envision the layout in
either of two ways.

If the sheet is divided into quadrants:

1 2
3 4

You might consider using a 2x2 table, no borders, & set the cell margins to
whatever each needs to be.

If 4 consecutive parts:

1
2
3
4

You can use InsertBreakContinuous Section Break at the end of each of the
first 3 sections. Although that would allow setting separate margins for each
section, many printers have a problem 'switching horses in mid stream', so
section breaks or not I'd be tempted to use right & left indents rather than
varying the actual margin settings.

I'm trying to re-type some old documents in Word, and I have one WordPerfect
document that I have divided into 4 sections. I have looked everywhere in
Word for this option, but I can't find it anywhere.

FYI---In WordPerfect, each divided section has it's own margins...like
having mini pages on one page.
