You can also use the ?page break? feature to separate sections of your paper (e.g., title page, abstract, references). All of this is easily accomplished in Microsoft Word. The first line of each paragraph is indented one-half inch. You can set your computer to default to one-half inch when you press the tab key.

To make the page numbers continuous: Click on the page with the incorrect number, then go to Insert > Page Number > Format Page Numbers. Choose Continue from previous section. Select OK to save changes.

You can keep all lines of a paragraph together on a page or in a column so that the paragraph is not split between two pages. Select the lines that you want to keep together. On the Format menu, click Paragraph, and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab. Select the Keep lines together check box.

Click Page Number and then Format Page Numbers. In the Format window, click Continue from previous section and then click OK.

For page breaks, place the cursor at the end of the text before you want to insert the page break, and then click on Page (Go to Layout ribbon ? then open Breaks ? select Page). For section breaks, place cursor at the end of the text before you need the section break and click Next page.

Unwanted blank pages are usually caused by manual page breaks. In the default view, Word hides the appropriate control characters, so it's difficult to spot the correct place to delete the page. It's easier if you adjust the view. The function Show/hide paragraph marks helps you with that.

For instance, if you use an Odd Page section break, and the previous section ends on an odd page, then Word automatically inserts a blank even page so that the next section can start on the next odd page.
