Trouble with converting Word doc to PDF

I am trying to convert a 35 page word document to PDF. The doc contains 21 poems, and I want each poem to begin on its own page. When I first did the conversion, the pages don't break correctly. Sometimes the end of one poem and the beginning of the next poem are on the same page, even though they looked correct on the word file. I am trying to meet a deadline and need assistance!! Thanks.
