Manual page break won't delete
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. |

Manual page break won't delete
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.

Manual page break won't delete
"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.

Manual page break won't delete
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.

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