- The Table of Contents and any numbered pages in the front matter should be a one section
- Each chapter should be its own section
- If listed separately in your Table of Contents, each appendix should be its own section
- If you only list "Appendices", then all appendices should be one section
- The Bibliography should be its own section
- Those including a Vita should make that page a different section
To add a section break at the end of a section: Put your cursor after the text in the section beforeas close to the bottom of the last page in your section as possible On the Page Layout tab, select Breaks > Next Page (under Section Breaks)
Please avoid the Continuous section break. On Mac, this option can also be found in the Insert menu > Break > Section Break (Next Page)
