Default Can't Get Rid of a Blank Page at End of Document

It will depend on the table. If the rows have an exact height, you could
reduce it a smidge. If they're auto height, you could set an exact height
that's a little smaller. If there's some Space Before/After the text in the
table rows, you could reduce it slightly. You could reduce the paragraph
line spacing slightly. And so on; see

Thank you. Yes, I looked at the table properties to try to figure out

what
to change to allow the paragraph mark to fit on the same page, but I still
don't know how to do it. Could you please suggest where I can find
information on how to do this?

There is no way to actually get rid of the blank page, but formatting

the
paragraph as Hidden (and if you have to do that, there's no point in
formatting it as 1 point) prevents it from printing. OTOH, if formatting

the
paragraph mark to 1 point were enough to allow it to fit on the previous
page, then you really would remove the blank page. Where this can cause
problems, obviously, is if you're using Page X of Y page numbering or

are
printing a booklet. In such cases, you would need to make some change in

the
table at the end to allow the 1-pt following paragraph to fit on the

same
page.

I followed the steps in your article on how to delete a blank page in

Word
where there is a table at the end of the document. I formatted the

paragraph
mark font to 1 pt. and hid it using format font hidden. When I hid

the
nonprinting characters in deed the cursor will no longer go to the

blank
page, but the bank blank page remains.

Please advise.

I've created a two page document that contains a simpl two column

table
and a
header. The header shows on a third page that contains no text,

spaces
or
other content and I can't seem to delete this page. I did

"Show/Hide"
to
see
if I had any inadvertant page breaks or other hidden marks that

would
cause
this but I do not see anything. Can someone suggest what I should

try
to
delete this unwanted third page.

Thanks,
-Mark
