Microsoft Word, despite the activity of competitors, confidently holds a leading position and is still the most popular
text editor, giving an example to other developers. The company of Bill Gates has always tried to meet the needs of users by creating a simple intuitive interface that allows even a novice to easily learn all the basics of working with a software product on their own. This applies equally to the popular Windows, Word, Excel, as well as many other applications developed by Microsoft employees. With the release of new versions, convenient changes were introduced to the program. Let's look at an example of how you can turn a page in Word.
Why turn pages

And since there have been changes in the interface with the release of new versions, it’s worthwhile to figure out how to perform this action in various versions of the program.
