There's a shortcut in Word for Windows that allows you to add tack on another page. I think its Alt + Enter or Cntl + Enter or something similar. I can't remember anymore, but is driving me crazy that I can't do the same thing in the MAC version. Maybe I just havent found it yet?? Any suggestions?

What you're looking to do is Insert a Page Break. In Mac Word the keystroke
is Shift+Enter (using the enter key on the numeric keypad). If you have a
laptop or something other than a full keyboard you'll need to "adjust" a bit
depending on the layout. You can also use Insert> Break> Page Break from the
Menu Bar as well as assign a keystroke of your preference.

Keep in mind, though, that manual page breaks are something that can play
havoc in a document - depending on the complexity of the document structure
& how many manual page breaks are inserted. If the document is going to be
revised over time there are better ways to control the flow & retain
stability in the file. You might look into the use of Next Page Section
Breaks as well as Page Break Before paragraph formatting if you're not
already familiar with those methods.

For more info on Mac Word's features - including keyboard shortcuts - spend
some time using the Help files. There are some differences from PC Word but
depending on which version you compare to the feature set is much the same.
The primary differences are Mac/Windows interface distinctions. You may also
