You are working on a Word document…
you are part-way down the page…
and for one reason or another you wish to end that page there and start a fresh page.
What do you do? No, do not hit the Return key over and over until the cursor moves onto a new page!! This leaves a whole lot of blank lines that will haunt you later when you make formatting changes and add other things to the document.
Instead, press Ctrl + Enter
Or:
1. Click the Insert tab
2. Click Page Break
This gives you a new blank page, and your cursor moves to that page. This is the correct way to get a new page, for the reasons I mentioned above.
Note: If you need to remove a Page Break – and you will sooner or later – switch on Paragraph marks so that you can see the Page Breaks in your document and delete any you need to.
