Setting a page break

Using the Page Break dialog box, you can force a page break to occur before or after the current paragraph (the paragraph containing the cursor). Page breaks have no effect on how a document is displayed on screen; they only affect how the document is paginated when printed.

Forces a page break before the current paragraph.

Forces a page break before the current paragraph and causes the next page to print as a left-side (even-numbered) page. For this option to work correctly, you must enable Different even/odd pages in the Page Setup dialog box.

Right

Forces a page break before the current paragraph and causes the next page to print as a right-side (odd-numbered) page. For this option to work correctly, you must enable Different even/odd pages in the Page Setup dialog box.
