The widely-used word processing program Microsoft Word allows you to create endless text documents. As you type and fill up pages, Word automatically adds a new blank page as you go along. However, you also can add pages manually by inserting a blank page at a particular place in a document.

Open a document in Microsoft Word 2007 or Microsoft Word 2010.

Place your cursor where you want to add a new blank page.

Click the “Insert” tab. In the “Pages” group, click “Blank Page.”

Scroll down and begin typing on the new page to add content. Repeat the above steps to add more pages to the document.

Click the “Microsoft Office Button” or the “File” tab, then “Save” to save the changes to the document.

Word 2003

Open a document in Microsoft Word 2003.

Place your cursor where you want to insert a new page.
