From memory the reason for this is that Word differentiates between the 'return' key and the 'enter' key (found only on the extended keyboard, and not on the notebook one), so 'shift return' ≠ 'shift enter'. ('shift return' , instead, actually provides a 'soft' carriage return, rather than a paragraph break)
I set mine up (using the 'Tools / Customise Keyboard' command in Word 2007) to use 'Shift control return' instead for the page break, which doesn't seem to conflict with anything else and I find easy enough to remember.

Hi to all,
I use a very nice CAT program (computer aided translation) called OmegaT and often like to highlight a word, go up to Services and then click on Look up in Dictionary (which is then set up with a number of dictionary/wiktionary/wikipedia plugins).
Is there any way to set up a keyboard short cut to do this instead of always having to go up to OmegaT -> Services -> Look up in Dictionary with my mouse?
I've tried just opening System Prefs and assigning a keyboard shortcut for the option 'Look up in Dictionary' (I've disabled the one for 'Search in Google' and would like to use it) and associating this with my choosen app (OmegaT), but so far, when I save the shortcut, System Prefs crashes out and wants to send a report off to Apple.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
