MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2004Delete empty page
How can I delete anend page that is empty but still prints. If it is *completely* empty and you can't see it in Print Preview, it may be the blank page Word inserts as needed when you use an odd or even section start. If it has a header/footer/page number and can be seen in Print Preview, then it isn't really empty. Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*) and delete the empty paragraphs, spaces, page break or whatever it is that is causing the "blank" page. -- Suzanne S.

Hello, >-----Original Message----- >If it is *completely* empty and you can't see it in Print Preview, it may be [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >. Hello, I am experiencing a similar problem with Word 2002. I have a document that contains pages that start in portrait, change to landscape and then go back to portrait. The landscaped pages were copied and pasted from another Word document. When I view the document at the point where it changes from landscape to portrait it looks ok but the page number changes from 14 to 16 there appears to be no page 15. When I print preview it shows the blank page 15 which contains the page number 15 but not the headers and footers that appear on every other page. When I print the document page 15 prints as a blank except for the page number. I have read article 291184 which describes the problem but doesn't (obviously) offer a solution. Are there any suggestion as to why this should happen. Thanks in advance Alan >-----Original Message----- >If it is *completely* empty and you can't see it in Print Preview, it may be [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >. Your page 15 is not empty. Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*), and you will see that it contains *something.* Possibly this is just an empty paragraph; possible it is a page break (left over from before you inserted section breaks around the landscape page). Whatever it is you'll have to get rid of it. Even when you do, you may still find that Word will "print" a totally blank page on the back of your landscape page. To understand what's going on in that situation you have to understand that Word works very closely with the printer driver. Most printers find it harder to print landscape than portrait to begin with and apparently very trying to print landscape on the back of portrait, so Word obliges their laziness by converting your Next Page section break to an Odd Page break. This causes Word to insert the blank even page or pages (the back of an odd landscape page and sometimes the preceding page as well). You can sometimes enforce your will on Word by going to the Layout tab of Page Setup (with the insertion point in the section that is preceded by a blank page) and changing the section start from "Odd page" to "New page." -- Suzanne S.

I have the same problem, when the page ends with a table. I have tried deleting non-printing characters, but it (e.g., the paragraph symbol) won't delete. Any way to get around this? Thanks! >-----Original Message----- >If it is *completely* empty and you can't see it in Print Preview, it may be [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >. Sher, Your document has to have that final paragraph mark after the table. It is the binding force that holds your complete document together. If this last paragraph mark is forcing a blank last page try reducing the font size of the paragraph mark to 1pt.
