"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
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. http://drop.io/WordHelp Thanks. "KMM" wrote: 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
Thanks. I checked that. If I'm looking in the right place...Format paragraph
and the tab "Line and page breaks". That box is not checked. I'd love to email it to you. I'm not sure how to do that. I've also posted the problem pages on www.dropio.com/WordHelp. You can see it there, too. If you prefer I email it, let me know how I can do that. I admit, though, I'm heading to bed now, so won't check this again until about 7:30 MST tomorrow. Thanks so much! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 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. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "KMM" wrote in message ... 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.

The "issue" is caused by the page numbers being formatted to start at 1
rather than continue from the previous section. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Yes, that will do it. Word insists on putting 1 on a recto page.

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
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?

"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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via news.eternal-september.org) "KMM" wrote in message news Okay.

"New page" section break causing hidden blank page
How do I do it? I see when I right click on the pages numbers, that even
though it's page 5 in the Word frame, the box that comes up says "Formatted Page 1". How do I get it to paginate continuously? And when I do that, will page 4 and page 6 disappear? It sounds like you all may have discovered the cause, but how to I fix it and what happened to make it happen? Thanks! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Yes, that will do it.
