Default Page breaks....Ctrl-Enter..help is appreciated

I am editing a large document in Word.
I was told to make page breaks using "CTRL-ENTER"

I did this on a few pages, but I see no difference.
How can I verify anything has been done?

My document has specific page breaks,
and it looks just fine....but when converting
to .pdf, pages spill and it becomes a mess.



I am using an old version of Word, properties tell me
it's "Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003"

Any info or suggestions is welcome!
Thanks!

Ctrl+Enter should insert a hard page break in the document. You may not "see" it if you have the document in Draft layout. There are a couple of things you can do to "see" the page breaks:
  • Put the document in Print or Page mode. I use Alt+Ctrl+P, but you can also use the little icons at the bottom on the screen in the status bar.
  • Turn on formatting marks. I use Ctrl+Shift+*. You should see a page break indicator.
These page breaks should be retained when the document is saved as a PDF.

Thank you Jennifer!

Wow, I have never seen the hidden formatting stuff.
It's a crazy hidden world!

I can now *see* my page breaks, and yes hopefully they will be
retained to the PDF.
