Word 2003 2007 - Pages have 1 or 2 lines per page!
I have moved form Word 2003 to Word 2007. I have documents which look ok in
Web View, but in Print or Full Screen layout, they have one or two lines per page. If I turn field symbols on, I see the paragraph symbol filling the rest of the page. If I turn on header/footers, they are directly surrounding the 1 or 2 lines. If I turn off "show blank space between pages", the print preview shows a line across the screen after each printed line or two. Any ideas how to fix this? I have multiple documents with the same issue (long documents, at that). Thanks |

The line across the page might be a manual page break.
Try using Replace to replace ^m with nothing. Also if there are multiple empty ¶ down the page, you will need to delete them That can be done with a Wildcard replace in which you replace [^13]{2,} with nothing -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

I tried [^13]{2,} and it worked (and works better than ^p).
