To create a new chapter, simply insert a chapter break into the text:

1.Move the text cursor to the position at which the new chapter should begin.
2.Choose the ribbon command Insert | Break | Chapter break.
Alternatively, you will find the command under Layout | Insert break | Chapter break.

The chapter break is now inserted. (Note: Write always performs a page break at the beginning of a new chapter.)

Tip: The chapter in which the text cursor is currently positioned is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the Write window.

Removing a chapter break

You can remove a chapter break by positioning the text cursor at the beginning of the first paragraph following the break and then pressing the Backspace keyÕ. The chapter before the break is thus integrated into the chapter after the break and also adopts its chapter formatting.

Tip: If you have enabled the icon unprintable_signs_icon for formatting marks on the ribbon tab Home | group Paragraph (see also Showing non-printable characters), the chapter break will be displayed with a dotted line.
