The short answer is that it cannot be done via a style alone.<br />
<br />
A style can only be associated with a character, paragraph, table or list with the formatting options of each having no options related to a section break

Thanks irudyk, <br />
<br />
you say 'it cannot be done via a style alone.' - are you implying that there is another way? If so, how? And please don't just say go to the ribbon and click on page layout/breaks/section break next page.<br />
<br />
Thanks

You could use an AutoText entry.

In creating a new paragraph style in MS Word, is it possible to associate a Section Break (New Page) with that style (I emphasise Section Break, not just a page break)?<br />
<br />
What I want to do is modify the Heading styles (Format/Paragraph) to insert a Section Break (New Page) instead of just a plain page break. I need to be able to have the page numbering show the chapter number and the page number restart with the change of chapter number e.g. 1-1 to 1-10 then 2-1 etc.<br />
<br />
Can this be done and if so how?<br />
<br />
Advice appreciated.<br />

Section breaks in Styles MS Word

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
