My sister created a resume for me and changed it from a 2 page document to a
1 page doc. The 2cd page is still there and no one can get rid of it. I tried the help menu, 2 experienced Word users have tried to delete tha page with no success. There is a paragraph mark and what looks like a long minus sign on the top of the page. There are no page breaks that i can see. How can i get rid of this page? Thanks for the help |

The long minus sign is almost certainly a Section Break and it is probably a
Next Page Section Break which is what is causing the empty page. You can try selecting it and deleting it, but be aware that may affect the headers and footers if any that appear on the first page. There are a couple of things that you can do to prevent that: 1 Go to the Header and Footer pane and click on the Next Section button until you get to the end of the document and then link the headers and footers in that section to those in the previous section. After doing that, you can safely delete the Section Break 2. Put the selection at the end of the document, that is after the long minus sign and the go to the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog and change the Section start to Continuous -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

me don't make sense to me, if i go to the header and footer pane on the ribbon as you ask ;i don't understand what to do next, i am fairly new to Word. also the link that Susanne gave me seems to overwhelm me, i tried to follow the directions, but to no avail, is there another way for me to understand until i become more technical savvy "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: The long minus sign is almost certainly a Section Break and it is probably a Next Page Section Break which is what is causing the empty page.

Your résumé is almost certainly formatted as a table, and Word requires an
empty paragraph following a table at the end of a document. See the part of my article that addresses that issue. -- Suzanne S.
