How to set the Layout Format

The Page Layout function of WPS has aimed at the articles containing section breaks, the position setting of the header and footer, and the change of the measurement unit of the document. Take this document as an example. We will explain its features to all of you.

· Section

This is a document containing a section break. We can first click the Section Navigation Pane button in the Section tab, and then we can see the article is divided into four sections in the navigation pane on the left. Take section 2 as an example. We need to place this section on a new page. What should we do?
