We can use page break to split a page into two pages and use section break to start a new section. This article demonstrates how to insert page break and section break into a Word document using Spire.Doc for Java.
Insert page break
The following code example shows how to insert page break to a Word document by using the appendBreak method in Paragraph class.
import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
public class SectionBreakAndPageBreak {
public static void main(String[] args){
//load Word document
Document document = new Document();
document.loadFromFile("Input.docx");
//get the first section
Section section = document.getSections().get(0);
//add page break to paragraph 4
Paragraph paragraph = section.getParagraphs().get(3);
paragraph.appendBreak(BreakType.Page_Break);
//save the resultant document
document.saveToFile("AddPageBreak.docx", FileFormat.Docx_2013);
}
}
Output:
