Couple of easy ways to insert a hard page break into a word document.

Sometimes you want a page to end before Word wants it to. Also, Word isn't very smart regarding the formatting of paragraphs over multiple pages. (One line of one paragraph at the bottom of the page just looks bad.)

To stop this, you can just place a hard page break. The hard page break immediately starts the next page in your document.

The shortcut is: CTRL+ENTER

If you are not a shortcut kinda person, you can enter it this way:

1. Click on the Insert Menu
2. Slect Break
3. Select your type of break (if available)
4. Click OK

Some early versions of Word do not include the different type of hard page breaks.
