Microsoft Word requires a section break when there is a change to page margins, orientation (portrait or landscape) or size, to footer contents or header contents.
How to set page margins
Go to the Insert tab, Page Layout group and select the dialog box launcher at the bottom-right of the group.
The Page Setup dialog box launcher
The Page Layout dialog box pops up. It has three tabs. When it first pops up, it displays the Margins tab shown below. The default margin sizes are 1.5 inches (2,54 cm) because that is the US preference. (Go here to find out how to change the unit of measurement.)
Changing top, bottom, left and right margins
Margins are measured from the page edge to the text edge.
If these are the margins settings you always use, click the “Set As Default” button.

A fellow editor asked, “How do I make page numbering continuous after a section break in Microsoft Word?”
Continuous page numbering
With your cursor in the section where you want the page numbering to be continued, go to the Insert tab, Header & Footer group (on the far right), Page Number option, as shown below in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Page numbers
In the dropdown list, select Format Page Numbers…, as shown below in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Format page numbers
In the Page Number Format dialog box, Page numbering group, select the “Continue from previous section” radio button, as shown below in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Continue from previous section
The section’s page numbers will now continue from the previous section, i.e., the section’s first page number will be one higher than the last page number in the previous section.
Note: You can also set the starting page number to whatever you like, and you can make the section heading number show with the page number, with whatever separator you want between the section number and the page number.
Isn’t it simple when you know how!

Jon Acompora’s VBA PRO course is excellent. I am plodding steadily through it. The ‘plodding’ is not his fault – it is harder to learn when you are older. The ‘steadily’ is because I do love learning new things.

The Vancouver referencing style is a numbered style used by journals in the health sciences to avoid clutter in the text, and improve readability. The in-text citations are superscript numbers, and the references at the back of the article are listed in the order of the numbers in the text, like endnotes.
Abbreviated titles
The Vancouver style requires the journal titles cited in the references to be abbreviated according to international agreement. If your source does not give the correct abbreviation of its title, you have to look it up.
A very useful resource if you have a DOI number for your reference is the CrossCite website. It allows you to set the format to a wide variety of referencing styles, including Vancouver. Click the ‘Format’ button to see the formatted reference, click the ‘Copy to Clipboard’ button to copy the result, and then paste it into your reference list. (You have to check that the program does not add commas to the author names – but it gives you a very good start, especially if there are lots of authors.)
DOI numbers are provided by the International DOI Foundation (IDF), a not-for-profit membership organization that is the governance and management body for the federation of Registration Agencies providing Digital Object Identifier (DOI) services and registration, and is the registration authority for the ISO 26324.

Switch on Headers and Footers (second from the bottom of the Print Options) when printing from a web page so you have a permanent record of where and when you got the information you are printing.

There are so many implications in the passage below from 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NIV):
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
We can give our time, talents, experience, even our smiles, as well as our money, and we can give at home, at work, at church, in shops, in our travels… BUT if we do it grudgingly or half-heartedly, we have wasted it. And I hate waste, don’t you?
This gives rise to the question: Should I give or not? I have two answers: Answer 1: I really want to be a cheerful giver, so I ask God to help me do it with the right attitude. Answer 2: If you can’t do it cheerfully, don’t do it.
