All word-processors use a pagination approach analogous to Word's. Unless you're converting to a format used by a page layout program (e.g. one that produces PDFs - which Word can do on its own), there is nothing to be gained (and much to lose) by inserting such page breaks. Besides which, how do you propose to handle issues such as those I outlined?
