how to lock a page/seperate pages

I am creating a document that has a different section on each page. How do I
keep page 1 from jumping to page 2(for example) when I add or edit text to
page 1? Whenever I add or edit text on page 1(or backspace...) text from page
1 goes to page 2.

I am creating a document that has a different section on each page. How do I
keep page 1 from jumping to page 2(for example) when I add or edit text to
page 1? Whenever I add or edit text on page 1(or backspace...) text from page
1 goes to page 2.

I assume when you say "section" that you just mean a part of the
document that's unrelated to another part. In Word, a "section" is
specifically the part between two section breaks.

Put your cursor at the beginning of your second section and click
Insert > Break, then choose "Next Page". That will make the document
into two real sections, and the second one will always start at the
top of the next page after the end of the first section.

If you add text to the first section so that it becomes longer than
one page, though, the second section will start on page 3. It's up to
you to fix things (by reducing the font size, the margins, or the line
spacing, or by removing other text) to keep the first section down to
one page.
