There is an option to add a manual page break (Ctrl + Enter, or Page Break on the Insert ribbon tab (Pages group). When I show formatting (Ctrl + Shift + 8, or the Paragraph icon in the Paragraph group on the Home tab) the manual page break is identified as a Page Break, while breaks inserted via the Breaks selection in the Page Setup group on the Page Layout tab are identified as section breaks. That is the distinction I was making when I suggested a manual page break. These breaks do not result in a new section, at least not in Word 2010 and earlier versions.

To the OP, are you showing the formatting marks? It may help identify the section breaks.

I rarely use manual page breaks in a finished document, but sometimes I use them temporarily when I have to fix a messy document, especially when it has graphics.
