"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
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! |

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
Check the formatting of the first paragraph after the Section Break. Is it
formatted to have a Page Break before it? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

What do you mean by hidden blank pages? I mean if you can't see them, how do
you how they re there? KMM wrote: I have a few section breaks that are causing hidden blank pages.

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
I don't know how to check that. I looked under Paragraph Formatting and I
don't see anything there. How would you format it to have a Page Break before? Thanks for the quick response, by the way!

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
I can tell a few ways. When I look in the bottom left corner of the Word
frame, where it tells you what page you're on, it goes from page 3 to 5 in one case. I plan on printing this two sided, and want to leave inside margin larger for three hole punch, so I have mirror page formatting with a larger margin on the inside and I am missing the opposite margin page. And while you don't see thee missing page in any of the Views in Word, if you do a Print Preview, you see the hidden ones. Thanks.

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
If the back sides (the even-numbered pages) are completely blank, you
won't see them in Word except in Print Preview. Sounds like it's behaving exactly as you need it to. On Jun 3, 9:40*pm, KMM wrote: *I can tell a few ways.

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
But I don't want the blank page. I want to know how to get rid of it. I
suppose I should have included that fact in my initial post. I can't figure out how to "get to it" to get rid of it. Thanks. "Peter T.

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
Thanks. But I think I've gone through these ideas before I even posted.
1. As a default, I always have my non-printing characters visible (I'm just nerdy that way), so I don't think there are any unknown paragraph returns in there...that I can see, anyway. As I said, I can't figure out how to "see" page 4 in a View (other than the blacnk page in print preview) to see if there is anything there. 2. I am certain that the Section Breaks are New Page ones. I am confident I inserted them that way, and when I go back and check them, they are labelled that way. And when I go to the layout tab it says "new page". 3. COULD BE IMPORTANT! -- I thought the answer was there when it said that this can happen when the next section changes to landscape. In one of these instances, that was the case (I've since deleted that landscape section). So I double checked again, because it said it will sometimes change a New Page Section Break to an Odd Page one. But as I said, these all seem to be marked as New Page. 4. Blank pages not caused by Word...I looked through the printer settings and didn't see anything referring to a separator page or anything similar. I have an HP Photosmart, but didn't see anything in there that looked like it could be the culprit. Ugghhh. So frustrating! "Suzanne S.

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
If you created the document yourself, then this would be a very long shot,
but check the first paragraph on the page after the blank and make sure it's not formatted as "Page break before." Also make sure that you're in the right section when you check the section start type (it should be the one *after* the break). If all else fails, I'll be happy to look at the document (or a portion of it) if you want to email it to me. -- Suzanne S.
