Ctrl+Enter will add a page break at the cursor position.

If the text for such new page is inserted into the existing text, just position cursor where you want it to start, and enter your text. OpenOffice will change the page layout as necessary to accommodate this. If you wish to insert a picture or diagram, some sort of object, on a complete page of its own, then follow robleyd's advice in previous post. If you want a blank page to cause a new chapter or part of the book to start on a righthand page, you should be using a method that causes all chapters to start on a right page.

If you give more information we can probably give more directed help.

If the document has a lot of objects anchored to pages then the only easy way to move them is with a macro.

If your question hasn't been answered then you'll need to provide more detail about where the difficulty is.

Ctrl+Enter does exactly the same thing as Insert Menu/Manual Break/page break and that is to change the Format of the paragraph (Format Menu/Paragraph/Text flow tab) so it has a page break.

Another way is to create a paragraph style which has the page break included with it (and all the font etc settings that you want a new page paragraph to have). Then you can just apply that paragraph style to a paragraph whenever you want a new page.
