Creating a new document in Word, inserting Page Breaks then saving it as a web page revealed that Word seems to use CSS tags to show the line breaks in HTML. The only odditiy I see is that when I load the HTML back into Word, mine is still set to "View -> Web Page Layout" or something (Word 2003) which doesn't show the page breaks (since you don't have page breaks in HTML) but if you set it to "View -> Normal" the page breaks are in there.
Anyway, generating HTML like the following should give you page breaks when loaded into Word:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered)">
<title>Test 1</title>
<style>
<!--
/* Style Definitions */
p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal
~{margin:0in;
~margin-bottom:.0001pt;
~font-size:12.0pt;
~font-family:"Times New Roman";}
@page Section1
~{size:8.5in 11.0in;
~margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;}
div.Section1
~{page:Section1;}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body lang=EN-US>
<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Test 1</p>
<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br clear=all
style='page-break-before:always'>
</span>
<p class=MsoNormal>Test 2</p>
<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br clear=all
style='page-break-before:always'>
</span>
<p class=MsoNormal>Test 3</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Really you probably just need this as the page break:
<br clear=all style='page-break-before:always'>
Not sure what "clear=all" does, but the "page-break-before" is standard CSS (CSS2 I believe) that's telling it to insert the page break before the <BR> tag (right? I think that's right).
Maybe that helps.. if not, post again "Ask again later" - Magic 8 Ball :)

Thank you for reply. I figured out how to do that but now my issue is
that since my styling is all done in HTML...I'm trying to bring over the
HTML for each person's BIO, followed by a page break then the next
person's BIO followed by a page break...and so on...
The obvious problem is that if I use the Word COM object to insert the
HTML...the HTML isnt parsed and all I get is the HTML source code...but
the page breaks work great. If I save the file first as HTML then open it
using the Word COM object then save it as a doc, it parses correctly...but
since there is no HTML page break function...all of the bios run one after
the other, when what I really need is each Bio starting on a new page.
This is killing me!
