Entering a Page Break from the Keyboard

Page breaks are Word's method of signaling that the following text should begin at the top of a new page. You probably know that you can insert a page break by choosing Break from the Page menu. However, this involves removing your hands from the keyboard and using the mouse, which can disrupt the pace at which you are typing.

One way to insert a page break is to press Alt+I (which brings up the Insert menu), and then press Enter twice. There is a quicker way to add a page break, however--simply press Ctrl+Enter. Word dutifully adds the page break and you can continue typing away.
