"Split apart page break and paragraph mark" setting

If you are editing other people's documents the chances are enormous that they are not using the new features of Word, so you could simply saveas and return the document to the latest format before returning the document.

Perhaps easier still is to use a macro to insert the break e.g.

Code:

Sub InsertWord2010PageBreak()

Dim oRng As Range
    Set oRng = Selection.Range
    oRng.Collapse 1
    oRng.MoveStartWhile Chr(32), wdBackward
    oRng.MoveEndWhile Chr(32)
    oRng.Text = ""
    oRng.InsertBreak wdPageBreak
    oRng.MoveStart , -3
    oRng.Select
    If oRng.Characters.First = Chr(13) Then oRng.Characters.First.Delete
    If oRng.Characters.Last = Chr(13) Then oRng.Characters.Last.Delete
lbl_Exit:
    Set oRng = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub
