Add column, frame, and page breaks
Control
column, frame, and page breaks by inserting special break characters
in the text.
- Using the Type tool, click to place the insertion
point where you want the break to occur.
- Choose Type > Insert Break Character, and
then choose a break option from the submenu.
 You can also create breaks by using the
Enter key on the numeric keypad. For a column break, press Enter;
for a frame break, press Shift+Enter; and for a page break, press
Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or Command+Return (Mac OS). To
remove a break character, choose Type > Show Hidden
Characters so that you can see nonprinting characters, and then
select and delete the break character.
Note: If you create a
break by changing paragraph settings (as in the Keep Options dialog
box), the break precedes the paragraph that contains the setting.
If you create a break using a special character, the break occurs
immediately after the special character.
Break optionsThe
following options appear on the Type > Insert Break
Character menu:
- Column break

- Flows text to the next column in the current text frame.
If the frame has only one column, the text goes to the next threaded
frame.
- Frame break

- Flows text to the next threaded text frame, regardless of
the current text frame’s column setup.
- Page break

- Flows text to the next page with a text frame threaded to
the current text frame.
- Odd page break

- Flows text to the next odd-numbered page with a text frame
threaded to the current text frame.
- Even page break

- Flows text to the next even-numbered page with a text frame
threaded to the current text frame.
- Paragraph Return

- Inserts a paragraph return (the same as pressing Enter or Return).
- Forced Line Break

- Forces a line to break where the character is inserted, starting
a new line without starting a new paragraph.
- Discretionary Line Break

- Indicates where a line of text should break if the line needs
to break. A discretionary line break is similar to a discretionary
hyphen, only no hyphen is added where the line breaks.

break options are available in the Keep Options dialog box and in
the Paragraph Style Options dialog box.
