Word is forcing an Odd Page section break on you, it appears. You may be
able to override this by changing the section start type on the Layout tab
of Page Setup.

Have a twelve page document that starts out in portrait and then converts
to
tables for three pages in landscape. Must place a blank portrait page
before
the beginning of the landscape page; and a landscape page after the tables
and resumption of portrait pages.

The document was sent to me and I would like to remove both blank pages.
When I try to remove either, the whole thing turns into landscape.

Thanks.
