I found Charles' answers to harry really quite supercilious. Harry clearly explained what he wanted to do and all Charles wanted to do was promote the previous answers which weren't what harry (or I) was looking for.

Working with an office PC we don't get the chance to make modifications to the defaults or play around with macros, so those suggestions are often useless for the many users who work in an office like that.

The "Page Break Before" formatting does not do what we want - to insert a page break where and when we want without Word adding a paragraph mark every damn time.

I'm working with a form - not my design - that barely fits on a page. Adding an extra paragraph mark usually throws it onto a new page and then the page break jumps to another new page, so I need to go back and delete the paragraph mark so avoid the extra blank page.
