Live and learn, part II: I *can* see the formatting; I used Reveal
Formatting in the Format menu which did no good, but clicking on the
paragraph mark did. Now back to paragraph hiding.

Thanks.

I've created an rtf file with top margin = 1/2", 10 rows 1" high, bottom
margin 1/2". That adds up to 720 + 10*1440 + 720 = 15840 twips = 11".
Word
insists on adding a blank page at the end. How come?

Making the bottom margin smaller eliminates the extra page but triggers an
error message because the printer needs a 1/2" bottom margin.

I have thought of 2 workarounds: (1) Specify paper height as 11 1/2", or
(2)
make the last row less tall (which may not be acceptable in all cases).
Either workaround is inelegant and, well, a workaround not a solution.
What
am I missing?
