In word what is inserted automatically hard page break section break soft page break or page footer?

In Word, a hard page break is inserted automatically when you reach the end of a page, signaling the start of a new page. A soft page break occurs dynamically when text flows onto the next page due to formatting changes, while a section break is used to divide different sections of a document with varying formatting. A page footer refers to the area at the bottom of a page where content such as page numbers or text can be added, but it is not a type of break.
