How do you add a forced page break in Pages '09

I'm considering switching from Excel to Pages. I'm experimenting with some complex spreadsheets that I use, and Pages '09 has removed my manual page breaks. How do you insert a page break in Pages? I don't want to add mutliple new rows to accomplish this.

Numbers has a different way of working to Excel. It is not one vast spreadsheet with breaks it is a series of separated "tables" or separate spreadsheets which talk to each other. Each table or part of a spreadsheet or result can be named, so you can tell a formula to do calculations on the results of other table by just using their names in the new table. eg A table called "education" may calculate all your education expenses, another your income, another tax so you can have a formula that calculates your net cash flow just by deducting "education" and "tax" from "wages".


To do what you are asking you would create multiple tables and lay them out so they appear on different pages when printing.


This is somewhat easier to manipulate and follow than the Excel idea of 3D spreadsheets and having to address absolute cells scattered throughout a vast spreadsheet.
