Default how to remove blank last page

Okay, let's make one thing clear: You CANNOT have a portrait page after your
landscape table without having a section break (Next Page) between them.
And, as I said in a previous post, if you want to delete the section break
without changing the landscape orientation of the table page, you have to
change the orientation of that last page/section to landscape BEFORE
deleting the section break.

If you have difficulty seeing the section break even in Normal/Draft view,
then you can search for ^b or use Browse by Section to find it. You *will*
be able to delete it, and that is the only way you can remove the last page.
The link Stefan gave you to
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm should be helpful
as well.

In this case, since your table doesn't fill the page, you could convert the
Next Page break to a Continuous break. You'll still need to change the
orientation of that last page first; then, with the insertion point on the
last page, go to the Layout tab of Page Setup and change the section start
type.

I haven't done the section break after the table (page 6), the section
break
is before the table, i.e. prior to the changing from portriat to
landscape.
When I turn on the paragraph sign, I don't see a section break after the
table either.

I have tried point 1, hidden, change the margin at the bottom of the table
page, make the table smaller with a couple of rows less, etc. etc.

What did I do wrong ?

OR can you please tell me step by step to create a new document, I can
just
copy and paste the text from the existing document to a new document as
long
as I have the 1st 5 pages in portrait and the last page to be the table
page
in landscape.

appreciate it if you could help me out on this, otherwise, I will type
"THIS
IS A BLANK PAGE" in my last page for the solution although I don't really
want to.... looks silly, because this is an instruction document.

Since the landscape section is the last content page in the document, a
section break following it is NOT required.

Note that you can format the section break as hidden (or 1 pt). Of
course,
if it isn't needed (I haven't been reading the whole thread), it would
be
easier to just delete it.

Format | Font | Hidden, but it won't work, either, because you clearly
have a section break; see my other post.

1 pt. didn't work and I did reduce the table for more than 3 rows.

What "Hidden" mean by you please ?

If one point didn't do it, did Hidden not work? Can you reduce the
height of
the table slightly?

news There was a section break before the table.
Let me put all the pieces together :

first 5 pages = portrait
section break
page 6 = landscape, it's the table but there's still some line
spacing on
the page
actually page 6 is the last page of the document
but then page 7 = blank page which was created automatically and
that
I
couldn't remove it

As in your (Suzanne) page, there would be a paragraph after the
table,
there's no paragraph on page 6, it's on page 7 (portrait), so I've
changed
into 1 point, it's a blank page (pg.7).
I can't see a para. after the table on the same page (pg. 6), I
pressed
the
"backspace" from page 7, then the cursor went back on the top of
the
table
in
pg.6 and I don't see a section break after the table.

I am completely lost now....
Please help.

thanks
Karen

yes, but I didn't do it myself. its automatically there because
the 1st
5
pages are portrait, then I have to add a section break for the
6th
page
for
the table.
Can I get rid of the section break ?

Do you have a Section Break after the table? What is the
orientation
of
the
unwanted blank page? If it is portrait, then for sure you do
have a
Section
Break after the table.

Hi Suzanne,

I have the same problem as this threat and did try to
resolve
as you
wrote
in the link listed below but no success after having tried
for
almost
an
hour
!

I have the table in my last page and I did change the font
of
the
last
para.
into 1 point, as a matter of fact, after the table, I still
have a
couple
of
rows (space) on the page too.

Here's my file is:
6 pages, first 5 pages are portrait, 6th page is landscape
with
the
table.
There are header and footer for the file.

Would that be something to do with the section ?

Please help ? I know it may be simple but I just couldn't
get
there....
thanks
Karen

how do you get rid of a blank last page of a doc? I've
tried to
bs
and
delete the reviewing characters but can't. I'm about to
jump off
a
cliff
for
spending so much time on something that should be simple!
