Supported workflows
For print-based output, you can apply a page or column break to a paragraph or heading (through styles or local formatting). You can do this, for example, if you want the paragraph or heading to start at the top of the next page or column. Alternatively, you can insert a manual page break on an isolated line, independent of HTML elements.
When you work on a document in Print Layout view, you may see icons in the margins next to the text. These icons indicate where a paragraph has moved to another page or column because of a page or column break, or because of a widowed or orphaned control.

simplifiedThe simplified view shows styles in a grid view and is generally better for new users.
This view provides an easy way to apply properties to styles, with formatting options available through a toolbar and dialog boxes (similar to an interface like Microsoft Word). In some cases only the most common property options are available in simplified view (e.g. font, letter/word spacing, paragraph alignment/indentation, autonumber format, borders, background). One advantage of the simplified representation is that you can apply a property to multiple styles at the same time.
