You can turn Track Changes off while you delete the page break, then turn it
back on.

OK, thanks, I'll remember that. However, for this client, I have no
choice.
At this third revision, I'm editing his new additions to what I originally
wrote for him out of his notes. It's pretty much all legal stuff and I
don't
want the responsibility of "accepting" what he wrote, so I have to
indicate
what I changed - his grammatical errors, etc. But I'll definitely keep the
track changes situation in mind for the future.

Having Track Changes turned on was probably the source of the problem to
begin with.

"Page break before" wasn't checked, but "Widow and Orphan Control"
was, so
I
unchecked that, and then Normal view allowed me to delete the page
break.
After that, Word asked me to accept or reject the change (since I have
Tracking turned on). So, overall, it worked! Thank you, Stefan! I'll
let
you
know if I created any other situations for myself by doing that.

Place the cursor in the first paragraph after the break and, on the
Format menu, click Paragraph. Click the Line and Page Breaks tab. Is
there a check mark next to "Page break before"? If so, then clear
it,
and click OK. Does that make a difference?

I'm using Word (Office) 2000 on Windows XP, sp2. Don't know if
that
makes a
difference.

I can't delete a manual page break that's no longer needed, even
in
Normal
view. I've tried highlighting it and using Edit | Clear, and
highlighting it
and pressing the Delete key. I also looked at Edit | Replace but
I'm
afraid
of the options there. I don't want to delete any other page
breaks,
just this
stubborn one. Has anyone else had to find a bigger hammer to use?
:-)
Actually, I'm serious, since my client needs this doc to meet a
legal
deadline. Thanks for sharing any experience with this.
