Is there a way to have a page break inserted when a certain word is detected on a page? I have a report with many pages of different sizes but each new page begins with a title beginning with the word OFFICIAL.
Is there a macro or something to have word create a page break when it finds this word?

You can use Find and Replace. Press Ctrl+H to display the dialog box.

"Find what": OFFICIAL

"Replace with": ^m^&

Click the Replace All button.

So, you could define and use a heading style that includes page break before.

Using a heading style would be even easier, of course, assuming that it would be appropriate for the document.

Thanks to all. Tremendous how this works. It was a great help.

Mike

One more thing on this that I notice. I added the find and replace sequence to the macro to add the page break but I get a blank page between every page. Is there a way to remove the blank pages?
Mike

Display nonprinting marks, for example by clicking the ¶ button on the Home tab, and see if there are multiple page breaks in the document.
