MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008Deleting page breaks in Word
Hi. I kept some notes and some other text below the essay I was working on. This caused there to be pages added to my document. Now that I am done with the essays and have deleted the ancillary text, i would like to delete the two extra blank pages that are appear after my essay (My essay takes up two full pages and yet I have a four-page document). Do you know how I could fix this problem? I am aware of a workaround; however, I would like to be able to go in there and just cop those excess pages right off. Thanks for your help. John Switch to Normal View, turn on Paragraph marks (you can press Ctrl+Shift+8). Then click to the left of the Page Breaks that appear and press [Del] on the keyboard. > Hi.

You can have them all (including the interword space dots that so many find so annoying) with the Show Non-Printing Characters command, but in the Tools > Options > View menu, you can turn on each individual set. I always have Paragraph Marks and Tabs on. (It's often important to know whether your paragraph indent is by style or by tab -- and you shouldn't mix the two methods in a document!) The others rarely need to be visible. > This is one reason I and many other Word users find it helpful (even > necessary) to display nonprinting characters almost all the time.

It's definitely a matter of taste and habit. Although I can usually detect extra spaces between words by eye (especially on printout), I do find it helpful to have the dots, and I'm used to them.

I often have authors who insist on putting two spaces between sentences, so the first thing I do in setting up, along with converting all the quotes to curly, is Find/Replace all Space Space with Space and keep repeating until Word returns "0 Changes." (And then I do Space ^p to ^p, because I hate wasting a character at the end of a paragraph!! Unforrunately there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of a space at the end of a footnote.) > It's definitely a matter of taste and habit.
