Insert page break vs blank page
What is the difference between inserting a blank page and a page break? They seem to do the same, but I doubt there would be two different buttons if that was true. |

Difference
If you insert a blank page between two paragraphs in, for purposes of illustration, a single-page document, the subsequent paragraph will appear on page three following the inserted blank page.
If , instead, you insert a page break, the subsequent paragraph will be on page two; no blank page will have been inserted. This is easier to see if you turn on hidden characters, (press Ctrl+*) so that you can see the breaks. Best, Ulodesk |

I generally, instead, use page-break-before paragraph formatting to induce a new page or, where necessary, use a next-page section break instead. Word has gotten better with manual page breaks but I suspect they will still cause formatting anomalies. They certainly add editing headaches, IMO. |
