1. With a word processor like Google Docs or Microsoft Word, a page refers to a document section equal to one printed page of information. When starting a new document, you'll only have one page. As more text is typed into that document, it becomes more than one page.

To start a new page in a Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or other word processor document, press Ctrl+Enter.

2. With computer memory, a page refers to a set amount of stored memory. See our paging definition for further information.

3. On the Internet, a page refers to a single web page. For example, you are now looking at a page on Computer Hope, a website on the Internet.
