If your project is getting too complex, it may be better to break it into multiple documents, in which case, the “Insert -> Link” option is going to be very helpful.

To get rid of one, first make them visible (“View -> Show section breaks”), then put your cursor on the end of the line above the break and tap the Delete key twice. Section breaks are more persistent than page breaks. Sections can also have their own margin settings, which is especially useful in technical projects. Section breaks are more useful in that they can be “continuous,” meaning the content will flow on the same page as the break, or “next page,” which will always put a page break before the next section.

When you hover over a heading, the X icon on the right will not delete the section but will remove it from your outline. To see it, select “View -> Show document outline.” Within the Outline pane, your headings automatically become links, allowing you to jump around the document without endless scrolling. The outline is available to the left of your page.
