A manually inserted page break is a "hard" break.
Manually inserted page breaks (Ctrl+Enter) are "hard". The application will repaginate automatically with "soft" page breaks.
No, actually a soft page break is when the word processing program automatically separates the pages for you (in other words, you are out of room on the previous page, and it automatically continues on to the next). When you manually insert a page break, this is called a hard page break.

A soft page break is automatically inserted.
Pressing Ctrl + Enter typically inserts a page break in many word processing applications, such as Microsoft Word, while a soft page break is usually created automatically when text exceeds the page's limit. A soft page break allows text to flow across pages without manually inserting breaks, maintaining the document's formatting. If you're looking for a soft page break specifically, it's often achieved by simply allowing the text to wrap naturally rather than using a keyboard shortcut.

In word processing, a hard page break is a break that occurs at a particular place in the text, forcing the next word to the top of a new page. A hard break never changes its position relative to the text even if words before it are deleted, so the new page will always start with the same word even if text on prior page doesn't extend to the bottom margin. Because they occur at a specific point in the text, hard page breaks are normally inserted manually by the document's author. A soft page break is a break whose position is determined by the word processing program when the document's text fills one page to its bottom margin. The following word is forced to the top of a new page, but if text in the prior page is deleted words from the next page are moved back.
A soft page break is what is inserted when text continues onto the next page. This keeps the page numbers in line, but is not visible.
In Word, a hard page break is inserted automatically when you reach the end of a page, signaling the start of a new page. A soft page break occurs dynamically when text flows onto the next page due to formatting changes, while a section break is used to divide different sections of a document with varying formatting. A page footer refers to the area at the bottom of a page where content such as page numbers or text can be added, but it is not a type of break.
