How do you set page breaks

Question

I have a 250 row spreadsheet that needs to be divided by month. I cannot find a way to set page breaks. Am I missing something? I know I can add rows to make a page break but it is tedious and everything moves if add or remove a row.
However, If I wanted to make each month a separate sheet, is there a simple way to move to different sheets.

Jerry,
Thanks! I look forward to exploring numbers some more since it has some nifty features. I really do like that one can have several objects on the same sheet at the same time. And I admit that I probably have too much MS mindset. But there's a reason for that.
The dominance of MS is a classic case of a feed-forward loop, or amplification, where a marginal increase of market share (for spreadsheet products in this case) encourages users and other manufacturers of supporting and complementary products (software companies, in this case) to tacitly accept the leader's product as the standard. Every additional unit sold hardens the case in favor of the leader. I admire Apple for bucking the trend. But it is a dangerous game.
In my own case, Jerry, your suggestion doesn't seem workable to me because of the specifics involved. It's a rowing event. The competitors are boats, but the same team (rowing club) has a number of different boats in different races with different personnel. To break all of this down to individual athletes (over 1,000) creates several orders of magnitude more work than what I'm doing now. To complexify things, teams change their personnel in the boats all the time, which changes the age averages and the handicapping involved. And some rowers get cut from the boat at the last minute and new ones added. The basic unit is the boat (which come in various configurations, as you may know: the eights, the fours, the quads, the doubles, the pairs, the singles). Following your advice, I suppose I would make each event (aka each race) its own separate table. This could work, but it requires a lot of additional work, because I'm dealing with 1,000, athletes, 400 boat entries, and 54 events.
I should add that our registration contractor provides me with the raw data in (you guessed it) Excel format.Re-parsing all that data into a boating table and then referencing that into event tables is an astronomically bigger job than the one I already have. This is why Apple's is a dangerous game. It's absolutely fine to share my output with the rest of the world, especially when I can reformat it into Excel, but I also have to deal with the output of co-workers, contractors, etc., which is more likely than not going to be in Excel. With Numbers, Apple has been trying to lure away folks from Excell by offering neat features. They really are neat. But Apple has to do something more. It has to minimize the cost (in terms of sunk labor inputs and additional effort) of flipping from a world dominated by MS. I believe it can, but it has to be able to meet its consumers where they are--stuck in an MS reality--and make the very real labor costs of converting go away, not just add neat features to entice. We all like those features. But they don't make the headache of conversion go away.
