A Section object represents a major section in a document, like a chapter in a book. Many documents will only contain one section. In more complex documents, content can be divided into multiple sections.

 

You can assign a different set of formatting settings to each section, including:

  • Margins
  • Paper size or orientation
  • Paper source for a printer
  • Page borders
  • Vertical alignment
  • Headers and footers
  • Columns
  • Page numbering
  • Line numbering
  • Footnotes and endnotes
