Inserting a Section Break inserts extra pages
If I create a new section break, whether it is Next Page, Odd, Even, or
Continuous, sometimes it inserts an extra page that is not visible unless I go to "Print Preview." This doesn't happen all of the time and I can't figure out why it does it some times and not others. |

A Next Page Section Break will always cause a new page to be added. The Odd
and the Even will add a new page depending upon the page number of the page in which the Section Break is added. A continuous one should only add a new page if its position coincides with where a soft page break would otherwise have been. -- Hope this helps.

The next page section break not only adds a visible new page break, but in
some documents, it also adds a second page that is not visible unless you do a print preview. In the print layout view, you cannot see the extra page. You can only see the page nunbering skip a page from before the break and after the new page. Page number will go from 353 to 355 with no visible page in between.

Take a look at the formatting of the first paragraph after the Section
Break. Is it formatted to have a page break before it? or, do you have a whole of paragraphs formatted to be kept with next? -- Hope this helps.

Often Word will convert a Next Page break to Odd Page if the reason for the
break is a change in page orientation. You can sometimes correct this by changing the section start type on the Layout tab of Page Setup. -- Suzanne S.

I have a template (.dot) that ONCE had odd-page section breaks. I have
manually converted them all back into next-page section breaks. However, some of them still act like odd-page section breaks. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? There are NO page format changes in the document; all margins and orientation are the same. "Suzanne S.

Just out of curiousity, if there are no format changes, why do you have
section breaks at all? What are the section breaks intended to accomplish? "Jessica" wrote in message ... I have a template (.dot) that ONCE had odd-page section breaks.
