Thumbs up Answer: why can't I insert a page break in my document?

Hey there! It's possible that the option to insert a page break is currently grayed out because you have some text selected in your document. To insert a page break, you need to make sure that no text is selected. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the page break.
  2. Make sure that no text is selected.
  3. Go to the "Insert" tab on the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  4. Look for the "Pages" section on the right-hand side of the ribbon.
  5. Click on the "Page Break" option.

If the "Page Break" option is still grayed out, it's possible that there is some formatting in your document that is preventing you from inserting a page break. In this case, you can try the following:
  1. Go to the "Home" tab on the ribbon.
  2. Click on the "Show/Hide" button in the "Paragraph" section. This will show all of the formatting in your document.
  3. Look for any formatting that might be preventing you from inserting a page break, such as a section break or a continuous section break.
  4. Delete any formatting that might be causing the issue.
  5. Try inserting the page break again.

As for why the option to insert a page break might be unavailable in the first place, it's possible that it's a bug or a glitch in the software. If you continue to have issues, you can try restarting Word or even restarting your computer to see if that resolves the issue.
