Specifically, section breaks are needed in the following circumstances:
Different margins: For documents such as a letter, where the first page might require a two-inch top margin to make room for the letterhead, with the following pages requiring a standard one-inch top margin plus a header that should not start until the second page.
Different headers and footers: For documents that require different formatting for various headers and footers.
Different paper sizes: Multiple sections are required with documents with both portrait and landscape page orientation.
Different numbering schemes: Large documents often require different page numbering formats from one area to another. For example, the Table of Contents may be numbered with lower case Roman numerals (i, ii, iii) while the main body uses Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) and the document concludes with Appendices using alphabetic numerals (A, B, C).
To restart automatic numbering for separate chapter: Word uses automatic numbering for figures and other items. If you have a multi-chapter document, you may want the numbers to restart with each chapter.
Columns: Multiple sections are used in documents with newspaper style columns combined with standard one column formatting. You can even change the number of columns on a single page.

Section breaks are needed in a document when page formatting changes within the same document, or your document includes more than one type of column formatting.
