For aesthetic or organizational purposes, you may require that certain paragraphs in your Microsoft Word 2003 documents appear on the top of a page. While you easily can insert a page break before such paragraphs by pressing CTRL-ENTER, what if you need to move the paragraphs around your documents? Unless you are very careful with your selecting and cutting/pasting/moving, the page breaks may not move with your paragraphs as expected.

1. Move your cursor inside a paragraph.

2. Right-click the paragraph and select "Paragraph".

3. The "Paragraph" multi-tabbed dialog box will appear. Select the "Line and Page Breaks" tab.

4. Check "Page break before".


Forcing a page break to appear before the current paragraph.

5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

Now, if you move the paragraph, the page break should move along with it.
