In Excel, a page break is a separator that divides a worksheet into several different pages/segments for the purpose of better printing. By inserting page breaks where necessary, you can avoid misalignment of data and ensure a desired print result, which is especially useful when working with a large data set. This article will demonstrate how to programmatically insert horizontal or vertical page breaks in Excel using Spire.XLS for .NET.

A horizontal page break is inserted between a selected row and the row above it. After insertion, the selected row will become the top row of the new page. With Spire.XLS for .NET, developers are allowed to use the Worksheet.HPageBreaks.Add(CellRange) method to insert horizontal page breaks. The detailed steps are as follows.
- Create a Workbook instance.
- Load a sample Excel file using Workbook.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get a specified worksheet using Workbook.Worksheets[sheetIndex] property.
- Add horizontal page break to a specified cell range using Worksheet.HPageBreaks.Add(CellRange) method.
- Set view mode to Preview mode using Worksheet.ViewMode property.
- Save the result file using Workbook.SaveToFile() method.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Workbook instance
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
//Load a sample Excel document
workbook.LoadFromFile("input.xlsx");
//Get the first worksheet
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Set Excel page break horizontally
sheet.HPageBreaks.Add(sheet.Range["A7"]);
sheet.HPageBreaks.Add(sheet.Range["A18"]);
//Set view mode to Preview mode
sheet.ViewMode = ViewMode.Preview;
//Save the result document
workbook.SaveToFile("SetHorizontalPageBreak.xlsx");
}
}
