Best Answer
When using Word to type a document, one may encounter instances when a page break is needed before Word automatically inserts one. For example, Word will end a page with just one line of a new paragraph instead of beginning the new paragraph on the following page. This will result in a document that is less than professional-looking.

To stop this, insert a hard page break. The hard page break immediately starts the next page in a document.

The shortcut is as follows: CTRL+ENTER

If you do not prefer to use the shortcut, enter the following:

1. Click on the Insert Menu.
2. Select Break.
3. Select the type of break desired (if available).
4. Click OK
.
Some early versions of Word do not include the different types of hard page breaks.

What is a hard page break versus a soft page break?

In word processing, a hard page break is a break that occurs at a particular place in the text, forcing the next word to the top of a new page. A hard break never changes its position relative to the text even if words before it are deleted, so the new page will always start with the same word even if text on prior page doesn't extend to the bottom margin. Because they occur at a specific point in the text, hard page breaks are normally inserted manually by the document's author. A soft page break is a break whose position is determined by the word processing program when the document's text fills one page to its bottom margin. The following word is forced to the top of a new page, but if text in the prior page is deleted words from the next page are moved back.

Is a manual page break also known as a soft page break?

No, a manual page break and a soft page break are not the same. A manual page break is inserted by the user to force content to start on a new page, while a soft page break is automatically inserted by the application based on the page layout settings.
