In UltraEdit-32, inserting a page break character can be done by using your assigned keyboard shortcut (mine is CTRL+Enter). UltraEdit-32 will render a nice horizontal rule to imply a page break.
How can I do the same thing in Notepad++?

A:
It is not clear from your question if you are after a line break (your title) or a page break (your question text).
However, if you're after a page break which I believe you are (Ctrl-Enter is the usual shortcut for it) there is no support for this in notepad++ afaik, mainly because standard text files do not support them.
I haven't used UltraEdit myself but looking at the docs it uses page breaks mainly to help with printing. Printing in notepad++ is a lot more basic, again another reason for no page breaks.
Update
I've just checked the notepad++ wiki and found the following http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Printing_And_Exporting
Unsupported print features The following are not supported as of version 5.6.8:
- Print all opened files
- Insert a page break (you can try inserting form feed characters, but most modern printers will not act upon it.
I've just tried adding FF (ASCII Decimal 12) and get a [FF] control character added, not a line so I'm guessing you're out of luck

Yup it's Page Break, thanks for clarifying (edited the question now)

Thanks CResults! I'm hoping Notepad++ will support Page Break visuals, not for printing, but for display. I like the way UEdit adds a rule. ___________________________________________________________ But it's not a biggie problem though, I can use 80 underscores as a workaround. :)
