SectionBreakType

The section break type which defines how the contents of the current section are placed relative to the previous section. WordprocessingML supports five distinct types of section breaks: Next page ("nextPage") - starts a new section on the next page (the default value). Odd ("oddPage") - starts a new section on the next odd-numbered page. Even ("evenPage") - starts a new section on the next even-numbered page. Continuous ("continuous") - starts a new section in the next paragraph. This means that continuous section breaks might not specify certain page-level section properties, since they shall be inherited from the following section. However, these breaks can specify other section properties, such as line numbering and footnote/endnote settings. Column ("nextColumn") - starts a new section in the next column on the page.
