When you are typing in word, and you come to the end of the page...Is there away to have the entire paragraph move to the next page instead of just the words that won't fit. I would like to add this setting to do this automatically if possible. I would rather the whole paragraph get bumped to the next page rather than the last couple words or sentences.
 
I believe you must manually insert a new page between paragraphs.

Insert > Break > page
 
1. Easiest manual page break is Ctrl-Enter.

2. You can force any paragraph to go to the next page (causing a page break). It is best to use styles so that this is automatically done. However, to manually do it for a specific paragraph:

Format | Paragrapgh, select "Line and Page Break" tab. Make sure Widows and Orphans Controls is checked, and Keep Lines Together is checked. This is a dynamic control - if the paragraph will fit within the space left to the end of the page, it stays there; if it will not fit, it automatically makes a page break and moves the paragraph to after it.
