Problem Inserting Page Break in Excel Spreadsheet

In a simple spreadsheet I'm trying inset a page break and I'm not getting it. I've done this:

Page Break View > Page Layout >Page Setup > Break > Insert > (Click, and nothing happens)

What am I missing?

 

  • You can do that in Page Break Preview in Excel in Microsoft 365, but only where data exist.

    In Normal View, you can insert/edit/delete page breaks anywhere.

    Oops .... didn't mean to mark my last note as a "solution".

      Thank you for your response. I'm sure I have always previously been able to create and see a new page break in the Page Break View, and also drag page breaks up and down in that view. I was in MS Office 2019 before, but following a recent reinstallation of Windows 11 the subsequent reinstallation of MS Office appears to be 365, so is it different in that respect?
