B: Page Breaks in Word

B is for Breaks  #NoTears

In Word, I have seen people hit the Enter key until a new page is created to get text onto the next page, start a new chapter in a book or a new section in a report. 

Tears

The problem is when you change the lines above. The top of the page is no longer in the correct location. This means every time you make a change above you have to go back and change where the top of the page is by deleting or adding lines. This causes frustrations and tears!

Adding a page break means that no matter what happens above the top of the page will stay at that point.

By following these instructions you will have #NoTears

A quick, easy and correct way to create a page break

1. Place your cursor on the line you would like to be the top of the next page. 

    [Where the page break should be.]

2.   While holding down the CTRL key hit the ENTER key.  

3.   A new page is created and your cursor is at the top of the page.

     Shortcut key:  CTRL/ENTER

Long way

1. Click on PAGE LAYOUT tab.

2.  Click Breaks.

3.  Click Page.
