Insert a Page Break
You can create manual page breaks in Normal view in Excel, but the Page Break Preview view enables you to see details such as the difference between an automatic page break and a manual page break. Excel denotes an automatic page break by a dashed line. It denotes a manual page break by a solid line.
Now that you know what you’re looking for, complete the following steps to insert a manual page break in your workbook:
On the ribbon, select View > Page Break Preview. Alternatively, select Page Break Preview in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. For a vertical page break: Select the row below where the break will be. For a horizontal page break: Select the column to the right of where the break will be. On the ribbon, select the Page Layout tab. Choose Breaks. From the drop-down menu next to Breaks, select what you’d like to do: insert, remove, or reset.
Edit a Page Break
You can edit page breaks in Excel in three ways:
For a horizontal page break: Select the column to the right of where the break will be.
Move a specific page break. Delete a specific page break. Remove all manual page breaks.
