Can you try the following?

in you word document, put

${pageBreakHere}

Then run:

Settings::setOutputEscapingEnabled(false); //important, otherwise the XML will be written as is in the word document
$templateProcessor = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor('resources/template.docx');
$templateProcessor->setValue('pageBreakHere', '<w:p><w:r><w:br w:type="page"/></w:r></w:p>');
$templateProcessor->saveAs('results/generated_templateFile.docx');

This is not working for me. Can anyone confirm that it is working?

@SalvatorePollaci this worked for me.

It's only working when opening on Word, not LibreOffice...
May be using xml is simplier than using the library...

I've found your solution working also on OpenOffice.

First you need to close previous text tag and reopen new row in the same paragraph with page break:
$templateProcessor->setValue('PAGE_BREAK', ''.''
. '');
