A Keyboard Cmd for Inserting New Pages?
Hi. Using Word 2003 on Win XP Home
Please excuse this newbie question but I must create a long (60-80 pages) MS Word 2003 document and the manual effort (Insert Break New Page Okay) involved in inserting many new pages in the document is getting to me. Don't know how to go about finding a Word command key to eliminate this drudgery. Please advise. Thank you. |

If you just want a page break (not a Next Page section break), use
Ctrl+Enter. But it's best to avoid manual page breaks where possible. If you have a specific heading level that you want always to start a new page, format it as "Page break before." -- Suzanne S.

Ctrl+Enter is a bit easier!

Thanks, Tony. Word 2003 is so feature-laden
and complicated that I haven't been able to find a source for all the keyboard command such as CTL-Enter. Am using the keyboard commands listed next to pull-down functions but there must be tons of "dig 'em out" keyboard commands. Thanks again. "Tony Jollans" No Mail wrote in message ...

A Keyboard Cmd for Inserting New Pages?
Hi, Suzanne.
Thanks for the rapid response. Don't plan to use sections and section breaks. My newly assigned document will be complicated enough in its own right without adding the complexity of section management. It may seem simple to experts but sections are very confusing to this newbie. May I ask why it's best to avoid manual page breaks? What can go wrong? I'll experiment with formatting H1 headers with "page break before." That sounds like a good idea. Thanks again! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Here's what can go wrong with manual page breaks:
Suppose you type a page that's two lines short of being full. For good measure, let's say it's somewhere in the middle of a 20-page document. Later -- maybe days later -- you edit the document and make changes in the first few pages that add three or four lines of text. Then you print the document and hand it to the guy in Repro to make 50 copies. When you finally get around to paging through the document, the page that used to be two lines short has now overflowed to the next page -- which now contains two lines of text and a ton of white space because the manual page break is still there. Bummer. There are a couple of ways to prevent this situation. Adding "Page break before" to major heading level styles is one. Another is to format certain paragraphs with "Keep together", which is in the same dialog; that prevents an automatic page break from occurring inside that paragraph. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Mon, 7 Nov 2005 20:21:33 -0500, "Uncle Joe" wrote: Hi, Suzanne.

You can also type "keyboard shortcuts" into Word's Help to get an article
that lists them by category. -- Suzanne S.
