I was wondering if I could create extra sheets in MS Word in the same way that one can do that in MS Excel?

Thanks in advance.

    Heading styles are certainly useful for organizing content in Word. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/usebuiltinheadingstyles.html for more on the heading styles. To learn about styles in general, take a look at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/stylesms.html.

    Thanks also, but then if it's not possible to create new sheets or sections in Word, I guess I would just have to settle with creating a subtitle for every separate content.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for taking the time. I was thinking of converting my existing Word file to the OneNote format where there are like new sheets for each category, not different formats though.

    At least I learned something new and will take that into account.

    Thanks again!

    To add to what Hans has said, Word sections store any settings related to Page Setup (= any option in the Page Setup dialog box, for example line numbering) and page numbering format and restart options.

    For more on Word sections, take a look at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/workwithsections.htm.

    Word does not have the concept of worksheets.

    You can start a new page in a document by pressing Ctrl+Enter, or by clicking Breaks > Page on the Page Layout tab of the ribbon.

    Word does have the concept of sections, but they have a different meaning. A section is a part of a document that can have its own page setup (margins, page orientation, headers and footers). So you can have a document in which the first section has portrait orientation and the second section has landscape orientation.

    You can start a new section by clicking Breaks on the Page Layout tab of the ribbon and selecting one of the options under Section Breaks.
