Page Break in Word (macOS)
Press Command + Return to start a new page at the cursor.
What it does
A page break ends the current page at the cursor, and the text after it starts on the next page. It stays in place when text before it is added or removed, which pressing Enter many times does not. Show the formatting marks to see the break as a dotted line; it can be selected and deleted like a character.
