How to Add a Page Break in Word
Page breaks add a new page to your document and move your cursor to the start of the new page. They’re great for adding sections, indicating new chapters, or generally giving some room for your text to breathe. There are many ways to add page breaks in Microsoft Word.
Add a Page Break in Word Using the Insert Menu
The Insert menu is the most logical place to look when adding anything other than text to a document.
Move the cursor to where you want the page break to start, then select Insert in the ribbon at the top of the window. Select Page Break. In Word for Mac, select Break > Page Break. A new page is added to your document and the cursor is moved to the start of the page for you to add text.
Add a Page Break in Word Using the Keyboard
Who needs menus when you are a master at the keyboard?
Move the cursor to where you want the page break to start, then hold down Shift+Ctrl (on Windows) or Shift+Command (on Mac). Keep holding those keys and then press the Return or Enter key to add a page break. A new page is added to your document and the cursor is moved to the start of the page for you to add text.
Add a Page Break in Word Using the Layout Menu
The Layout ribbon could be faster than the menu system if you are an expert ribbon user.
Move the cursor to where you want the page break to start, and select Layout in the ribbon at the top of the window. Select Breaks. Select Page. A new page is added to your document and the cursor is moved to the start of the page for you to add text.
