If you are editing other people's documents the chances are enormous that they are not using the new features of Word, so you could simply saveas and return the document to the latest format before returning the document.

Perhaps easier still is to use a macro to insert the break e.g.

Code:

Sub InsertWord2010PageBreak()

    oRng.Collapse 1

    oRng.MoveEndWhile Chr(32)
    oRng.Text = ""
    oRng.InsertBreak wdPageBreak
    oRng.MoveStart , -3
    oRng.Select
    If oRng.Characters.First = Chr(13) Then oRng.Characters.First.Delete
    If oRng.Characters.Last = Chr(13) Then oRng.Characters.Last.Delete

    Set oRng = Nothing
