continuous section break
A continuous break in Word 2010, also known as a continuous section break, allows you to change the formatting within a document without starting a new page. It is useful for applying different layouts, such as varying column formats, headers, or footers within the same page. You can insert a continuous break by going to the "Page Layout" tab, selecting "Breaks," and then choosing "Continuous" under the Section Breaks. This helps maintain the flow of text while implementing distinct formatting.
To insert a section break in a document, first place your cursor at the location where you want the break. In Microsoft Word, go to the "Layout" or "Page Layout" tab, click on "Breaks," and then select the type of section break you need (e.g., Next Page, Continuous). In Google Docs, click on "Insert," then "Break," and choose "Section break (next page)" or "Section break (continuous)." This will create a distinct section in your document, allowing for different formatting or layout options.

The main types of section breaks in word processing software are "Next Page," "Continuous," "Even Page," and "Odd Page." The "Next Page" break starts a new section on the following page, while "Continuous" allows the new section to begin on the same page. "Even Page" and "Odd Page" breaks create a new section that starts on the next even or odd page, respectively. These breaks are useful for managing different formatting or layout needs within a document.

No, actually a soft page break is when the word processing program automatically separates the pages for you (in other words, you are out of room on the previous page, and it automatically continues on to the next). When you manually insert a page break, this is called a hard page break.
