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.
It can be called a manual page break.
A soft page break is automatically inserted.
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.

soft page break
In word processing, a soft break (also known as a line break) is used to start a new line without starting a new paragraph. This allows text to continue on the next line without creating extra space between the two lines. A hard break (also known as a paragraph break or a carriage return) starts a new paragraph and adds extra space between the lines.
A "soft" page breaks is created automatically by a word processor when the text contents fill the available space on a page and extend onto the next page.
