Control page breaks in Microsoft Word

You don’t necessarily have to put up with the line and page breaks that Word thinks you ought to have in a document. If you want a group of words to stay together and not be split up over a line break, hold down the Ctrl and Shift buttons when pressing the Space button.

If you want to force a page break, hold down the Ctrl button and press Enter. There are several other options that can be set for paragraphs. Left-click once in the paragraph, click on the Format menu and then on Paragraph.

The Widow/Orphan option on the Line and Page Breaks tab prevents single lines from a paragraph appearing at the top or bottom of pages. ‘Keep lines together’ is even more powerful and makes sure the entire paragraph is kept together.
