Line numbers number each line of a page, section, or entire document (depending on which is selected). Line numbers are not activated by default but can be activated with this button selected. As specified earlier, section breaks allow for not only a break in the text but they also allow for different layout options and page orientation settings, whereas page breaks, being in the same section, keep all the same formatting. Clicking on columns will launch a drop-down menu allowing the user to set up page breaks or sections breaks. The Breaks button allows the user to place in a variety of breaks, which are text stoppers which prevent text from being added below the break until the next page, column, section, etc. Columns are a lot like tables, however, they fill from left to right, and after one column is full, the text will move to the next column instead of being self-contained in a cell.

This is useful if the user is creating a flyer or newsletter. The Columns button allows the user to insert multiple columns on a word document.

Changing the Size option will increase or decrease the amount of room each page. However, there are other larger and smaller paper sizes. By default, most printer paper is 8.5X11 inches. The Size button changes the size of the page Word is preparing to print. The orientation button allows the user to change the page layout from the default portrait landscape, where the page is taller than it is wider, to landscape, where the page is wider than taller. Page Margins are often utilized to ensure a document expands to become a full page or is condensed to be one page.

Margins, allows the user to customize how much white space, or upper, lower, left, and right page boundaries. The Document Layout Tab allows the user to create some spacing and margin controls for specific objects, pictures, paragraphs, sections, or the entire document.
