how to remove blank last page

how do you get rid of a blank last page of a doc? I've tried to bs and
delete the reviewing characters but can't. I'm about to jump off a cliff for
spending so much time on something that should be simple!

Hi Suzanne,

I have the same problem as this threat and did try to resolve as you wrote
in the link listed below but no success after having tried for almost an hour
!

I have the table in my last page and I did change the font of the last para.
into 1 point, as a matter of fact, after the table, I still have a couple of
rows (space) on the page too.

Here's my file is:
6 pages, first 5 pages are portrait, 6th page is landscape with the table.
There are header and footer for the file.

Would that be something to do with the section ?

Please help ? I know it may be simple but I just couldn't get there....
thanks
Karen

Do you have a Section Break after the table? What is the orientation of the
unwanted blank page? If it is portrait, then for sure you do have a Section
Break after the table.

yes, but I didn't do it myself. its automatically there because the 1st 5
pages are portrait, then I have to add a section break for the 6th page for
the table.
Can I get rid of the section break ?

You need a section break before the table but not after.

There was a section break before the table.
Let me put all the pieces together :

first 5 pages = portrait
section break
page 6 = landscape, it's the table but there's still some line spacing on
the page
actually page 6 is the last page of the document
but then page 7 = blank page which was created automatically and that I
couldn't remove it

As in your (Suzanne) page, there would be a paragraph after the table,
there's no paragraph on page 6, it's on page 7 (portrait), so I've changed
into 1 point, it's a blank page (pg.7).
I can't see a para. after the table on the same page (pg. 6), I pressed the
"backspace" from page 7, then the cursor went back on the top of the table in
pg.6 and I don't see a section break after the table.

I am completely lost now....
Please help.

thanks
Karen

What is the orientation of the unwanted last page?

Also in the Table properties dialog, make sure that the Text wrapping is set
to None.

If you click on the Show/Hide button (¶), what do you see after the table?

If one point didn't do it, did Hidden not work? Can you reduce the height of
the table slightly?

The orientation of the unwanted last page = portrait.

I can find "Text Wrap" in the Table properties dialog ???

I did click on the Show/Hide button (¶), there is nothing shown after the
table (i.e. page 6).

Yet the unwanted last page, the 1st sign (1st row) is with this ¶

thanks
