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 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.

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.

In printing, a code that marks the end of a page. A "hard" page break, inserted by the user, breaks the page at that location. "Soft" page breaks are created by word processing and report programs based on the current page length setting.

Soft Page Break
soft page break
A soft break is a break at the end of a line or a page that occurs when the program word-wraps or advances pages automatically. A hard break (anywhere in a line or a page) is forced by the program user, who uses a keystroke to force the break at a specific point -- the keystroke embeds a hard-break code. The location of a soft break adjusts automatically with a change in the margins or the line-lengths or the number of lines. The hard break remains in its original location unless the operator deliberately removes it or relocates it.
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.
