Here is a little palette to do this (but without inventing a new cell
style).
Clicking on "PageBreakCell" inserts a cell with an empty string and
(nearly)
vanishing height.
The buttons "NextPBC" and "PreviousPBC" can be used to jump from one
"PageBreakCell" to another.

                    Mathematica-Compatible Notebook

This notebook can be used on any computer system with Mathematica 3.0,
MathReader 3.0, or any compatible application. The data for the
notebook  starts with the line of stars above.

To get the notebook into a Mathematica-compatible application, do one of
the following:

* Save the data starting with the line of stars above into a file
  with a name ending in .nb, then open the file inside the application;

* Copy the data starting with the line of stars above to the
  clipboard, then use the Paste menu command inside the application.

Data for notebooks contains only printable 7-bit ASCII and can be sent
directly in email or through ftp in text mode.  Newlines can be CR, LF
or CRLF (Unix, Macintosh or MS-DOS style).

NOTE: If you modify the data for this notebook not in a Mathematica-
compatible application, you must delete the line below containing the 
word CacheID, otherwise Mathematica-compatible applications may try to 
use invalid cache data.

For more information on notebooks and Mathematica-compatible 
applications, contact Wolfram Research:

Notebook reader applications are available free of charge from  Wolfram
Research.
