Generate Page Break Diploma For Free

in this video I'm going to go over the common frustration in Microsoft Word 2010 of people using the return key several times to create a new page instead of using the page break tool so we'll be covering this second bullet point using page breaks not the return key several times to go to the next page so here I am in Microsoft Word 2010 and you can see that I have a line of text now instead of pressing the rec return key several times to create the next page which most people tend to do like this I'm going to show you an alternative and a better practice way of doing that so the reason it's better practice is because if I have some more text here on this second page let's say for example I've got a student who's completing a piece of coursework work and they have the opening introduction on the first page and then on the second page they want the next section of their coursework which is quite understandable what they will do again most of them um in my experience about 90% of them will press the return key several times to force this next page and the reason that is bad is because if I say to the student well go and add some more text on page one extend your paragraph Etc if the student starts typing here this is is some more text and they press enter to go and do the next line you can see that it automatically forces this line down so again if I write some more text press enter write some more text press enter write some more text it's forcing the text on the second page down and this can be absolute nightmare when um students are completing their coursework adding more text to the paragraph above for example and then finding out that well actually it's pushing P all of my text down and so you've got big blank spaces in your document now what the student should have done or what people should do is if I just delete all of this here's my line of text now I want to force a new page you can see here that I only have one page if I want to force a new page what I do is instead of pressing the return key several times I would simply go to the insert Tab and there are actually several ways of doing this I'm going to show you three different ways of doing this and then I select page break this will give me a new page automatically and if I write some text here and you can see that this is on the first line of the page if I go back up here and I want to add some more text by pressing enter you can see if I scroll down in the pre previous method of just using the return key it would have pushed this line of text down as well but you can see that that hasn't happened so all I did there was insert a page break there's actually a few ways of doing that so the way that I've just showed you is to go to the insert Tab and insert page break you can also go to the page layout tab go breakes and insert a page break from here as well it'll do exactly the same thing or you can use the shortcut keys by pressing the control key on your keyboard and then pressing...
