Default Mysterious blank pages

I have a document that has a few (3) blank pages coming up before a specific header. This only occurs in one instance of the header, which is used numerous times throughout the document. Furthermore, there are no page break separators, but I am using new page before. When I do delete the header the blank pages disappear or turn off the new page before the option.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Gordon Greenham

Hi,

I think you mean "heading" rather than "header." A header is text that
appears at the top of each page. A heading style is used to designate a
paragraph as separating areas in a document. A heading style can have
paragraph formatting that tells Word to have it start a new page. If you are
starting a new section as well (often not necessary) that has a page break
before, this could explain your problem.

Why are you inserting the section break?
