In Microsoft Word, how do I add and remove page breaks?
To add a forced page break in Microsoft Word, place your cursor where you want the page break, and then follow the appropriate step below:
- In Word 2007 and earlier for Windows, press
Ctrl-Enter.
- In Word 98 or 2001 for Mac OS, or Word v.X, 2004, or 2008 for
Mac OS X, press
Shift-Enter(notShift-Return).
To remove a page break you've made:
- From the
Viewmenu, chooseNormal(this step is not required in Word 2007).
- Click the margin directly to the left of the page break line to
highlight it.
- Press the
DelorDeletekey.
Note: You cannot delete or remove soft page breaks, which are indicated by dotted lines. To change where soft page breaks occur, you must change the settings for your margins.
