Default "New page" section break causing hidden blank page

For each affected section, look in the Page Number Format dialog box. Make sure
that "Continue from previous section" is selected (and not "Start at").

To display the dialog box: In Word 2007, double-click a header to activate it.
Then click Header & Footer Tools tab | Page Number | Format Page Numbers. If you
are using Word 97-2003, click the Format Page Number button on the Header and
Footer toolbar.

Okay. But I don't have any page numbers in the document. I only see the ones
in the Word "frame" that are showing for any Word document. How would that be
formatted? I thought that was just Word keeping track of how many pages are
in the doc. How do I get rid of that blank 4th and blank 6th page that I
can't get to?

The "issue" is caused by the page numbers being formatted to start at 1
rather than continue from the previous section.

I pulled the first part, where I've having the problem and put it on
Dropio.com. You can see it here. The whole doc is 93 pages, but the
problem
is just he "hidden" page 4 and page 6. I left the table that follows the
section after page 6 in case that is important, but deleted the info in it
because it was full of people's names and emails. The reason for the
section
breaks in nearly all my cases is change in header. These pages are
appendices
for a report.

I have a few section breaks that are causing hidden blank pages. I've
triple
checked that these breaks are marked as next page (it even says it in
parentheses next to the section break mark). I've also gone to the
following
section and looked on the layout tab and it says "next page". Can anyone
tell
me why? I tried just putting a new section break in, but it went from
page 3
to 5 also. It has happed 3 times in my document. The other 8 sections
breaks
seem to be fine.

THanks!
