I have a 3 page document where I have page breaks set up at the beginning of each new page. I am merging data from excel to the 2nd page of the diocument. When I merge to a new document, it looks ok, but when I print it there is a blank 4th page that is added in. How do I get rid of the blank page?

If you turn on the display of non-printing characters, then look at the end of the merge
document, do you see "empty lines"? That just have a ¶ symbol? Delete these, and that
should solve the problem.

If that's not it, what is at the end of the third page? And what do you see on the "blank"
fourth pages in the merge result?
