Selection.InsertBreak Type:=BreakValue
where BreakValue is one of the following values:
| BreakValue | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| wdPageBreak | Page break | |
| wdColumnBreak | Column break | |
| wdSectionBreakNextPage | Next-page section break | |
| wdSectionBreakContinuous | Continuous section break | |
