How to "lock" a page so that previous page typing doesn't move it

I have a document with page 1 and page 2.

If I edit page 1 by adding a few more lines of text, page 2 moves
down an equivalent number of lines.

Is there a way to 'lock' page two so that I don't have to realign it
just because I made changes to page 1? *


Bump to the top for an answer to my question please

There is no confusion about this at all. You cannot do this in Word: it is
text flow software, not page layout software.

However, if you format the first paragraph on page to to have a page break
before (part of paragraph formatting) it will always begin a new page.
Heading styles are often set this way.

I assume that you currently get it to be on the second page by a series of
Enter key strokes. This is a _bad_ idea.
