Indeed, seemingly blank pages may not be blank. :-)

Thanks again.

I tried the arrow technique and while it worked as you described, I am
curious by what I saw. Please explain what Word is doing...


I opened a new Word 2010 document. With the cursor on Page 1, Position
1, I pressed Ctrl-End, Ctrl-Enter to insert a new page. I then used the
back arrow as suggested and the cursor landed at a spot 2" beyond Page
1, Position 1.

So here's my question...I hope this makes sense.

The cursor did not move when I pressed Ctrl-End and then moved to Page
2 Position 1 when I hit Ctrl-Enter. I assume that means that Ctrl-Enter
"added" something to Page 1 which causes the cursor to land beyond the
original end of the document when the back arrow is used.

Further, if the cursor is at Page 2 Position 1 after Ctrl-Enter, pressing
backspace once does nothing visible, while pressing backspace twice
deletes Page 2. However, as I mentioned, pressing the back arrow moves
the cursor to the 2" spot on Page 1. Pressing backspace at that point
deletes Page 2.

So what is happening in that 2" space on Page 1 that the back arrow key
recognizes it but the backspace key (sort of) doesn't?
