Assign a page break to a heading
Select Home > Styles.
Select the heading you want to assign a page break to, select the heading's drop-down arrow, and then select Modify.

To make sure your selected heading type always starts on a new page, select Page break before. You also have other options:
Widow/Orphan control - Makes sure that there's never a line of text alone at the beginning or end of a page.
Keep with next - Keeps the entire paragraph on the same page as the next paragraph.
Keep lines together - Makes sure the page never breaks in the middle of a paragraph.
