How do I delete a doc. page w/o corrupting the pages following it.
I added a page in front of an existing word doc. by inserting a manual page
break. Now I would like to delete that page, however when I try to delete the page break the formatting of the remaining document becomes corrupted. What do I need to do to delete that page without corrupting the remaining doc.? |

Formatting might be changed by deleting a section break, but deleting a page
break should not affect it. -- Suzanne S.

What exactly happens to the document as you delete the break? If you
mean that text is moved to inappropriate locations this is not document corruption in the technical meaning of the term; instead, I'd say that this is an indication that you have to rethink your document design. Many new users of Word or frequent users who usually just create short documents, where the problem is less obvious, don't know that you can apply paragraph formatting to keep text in place -- there is no need to press ENTER successive times to create spacing around paragraphs or to "move text" to the next page, in order to (say) prevent a heading from appearing as the last paragraph on a page. Look into the options found in the Paragraph dialog box: On the Format menu, click Paragraph. You can use Space Before or Space After (on the Indents and Spacing tab) to create spacing around paragraphs. And you can use "Keep with next" (on the Line and Page Breaks tab) to make sure that a heading is always followed by more text on the same page. Using these options are cruical if you want to minimize the differences in display and print for computers using different printer drivers. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm). For future documents, you might want to investigate the use of paragraph styles for easy application of paragraph and font formatting; please see: http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...sOnStyles.html -- Stefan Blom "Chelley" wrote in message ...
