Continuous section break
My document consists of three sections with a couple of headers and
footers. It ends with a Continuous Section Break which creates a blank page at the end I can't seem to get rid of. When I display paragraph marks I can see (in Normal View) one paragraph mark just below the Section Break, but I can't delete it. I've read the Deleting "Blank" Pages article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm but it doesn't seem to have anything that explains my situation. If I just delete that last Continuous Section Break it of course throws off the formatting in the previous section. Any help would be much appreciated. |

Place your cursor next to the ΒΆ just below the last section break (the continuous one). File Page Setup... Layout Tab "Section" part, change the dropdown list item next to "Section start:" from "Continuous" to "Next Page". Click OK. You will now have a new page. You do this so that you can safely access the header/footer for the section that used to be Continous. Sometimes, depending on how the document headers/footers were created/setup, if they are all set to "Link to previous", when you delete one, it deletes all of them. I do not think you would have this problem, but just in case.... Now, go into the header for this "new" page section. Change the header so that it is not set to "Link to Previous", but make sure that it is identical to the previous section header. Repeat for the footer. Now, place the cursor in the section before the new one. Go back in the Page Setup dialog, take notes of all the margins for the page and for the header/footer. Change the dropdown list at the bottom of the first tab (Margins tab) to "From this point forward") and re-apply the margins settings on this tab and the other appropriate settings on the other two tabs. Now you can remove the last section break because the last section is identical to the one before. |
