Unwanted page break in Word
Have a document that is breaking mid way in the page and not at the end of a
paragraph. Widow and orphan control is checked. Line spacing is set to Multiple - 1.2. I have tried pasting format from first page in document where page break is normal but this doesn't work. The problem is occurring through the document apart from the first page. i have checked the formatting in the style bar but there is nothing untoward showing. |

Unwanted page break in Word
There are many reasons but the most common is that the paragraphs have been
formatted with Keep Lines Together (possibly Keep with Next) and are therefore breaking across the page in order to keep together. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Bolalia" wrote in message ...

Unwanted page break in Word
Thank you Terry but that is not the reason. I have checked this. At a
certain point - about mid-page - it doesn't matter whether it is in the middle of a paragraph or at the end of a paragraph on all pages in the document, except for the first page, the text goes to the following page. If there is a footer, the footer line appears at the mid -page point but the footer still goes to the bottom of the page. I have disiplayed the formatting at the end of the line, on the paragraph mark etc and cannot see anything abnormal. There is nothing in the page setup that could cause it either. I noted in another post you mentioned, I think, displaying hidden characters or something similar by increasing magnification of the page but I don't know how to do this. Word version is 2003.

Ah! Open the Footer with non-printing characters displayed. I bet there is
an empty box or empty para breaks in the footer. Terry "Bolalia" wrote in message ... Thank you Terry but that is not the reason. I have checked this.

Unwanted page break in Word
Thanks Terry - it was late at night when I wrote last and I typed "footer"
instead of "footnote". There are lots of paragraph marks below the footnote line and the footnote but it has also occurred where there isn't a footnote. I will, however, check the non-print characters. I hope you do this by just using the "show all" button. "Terry Farrell" wrote: Ah! Open the Footer with non-printing characters displayed.

Unwanted page break in Word
It defnitely sounds like there is something, probably an empty Textbox in
the primary footer of the document. What happens if you go to the Page Setup dialog and, on the Layout tab, if the Different First Page box is checked, uncheck it. Does the same thing then happen on the first page? If so, it confirms that there is something in the footer that is causing the page break. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

So let's confirm what you are observing...
The page breaks in the middle where a FOOTNOTE line appears and the FOOTNOTE line is a long way above the Footnote itself? Terry "Bolalia" wrote in message ...

Unwanted page break in Word
You guys didn't solve this one, did you?
I seem to have the same problem in a single, possibly corrupted, document, using Word 2007. After inserting a single footnote, the footnote space on all preceding pages occupies nearly the entire page, leaving barely room for a line of text between the header and the footnote space. The footnote itself is positioned at the bottom of the space, visually where it should be, but the space above it is occupied by a bunch of paragraph marks that cannot be selected. These paragraph marks do not appear on the preceding pages. Pages following are not affected. A single footnote appears capable of turning a ten-page document into hundreds of pages. If I insert a second footnote, it again has all the inaccessible paragraph marks above it. If I select the whole document using CTRL+A and paste into a new blank document, it works correctly in the new document. Even if the selection included the messed-up footnotes, they appears correctly when pasted into a blank document. If I use CTRL+A and delete the document contents, then insert a footnote, it is not correct. If I delete header and footer contents with CTRL+X, and insert a footnote, it is not correct. If I use REMOVE HEADER and REMOVE FOOTER, footnotes are still wrong. If I save as Word 97-2003 or RTF, footnotes are not correct. All I can conclude is the document is corrupted somehow.

Thank you, Suzanne!
You are precisely right that the footnote separator had been edited. Sorry you had to give the same reference twice. The unwanted paragraph marks were below the separator line, and must have been added as a work-around not by me or even the person I am helping, but by some unknown person in the past. These sorts of problems are picked up when we trade documents between organizations and use them as templates for unrelated purposes. I have been using your excellent help for quite a few years now, and feel like I practically know you. All the best! Robert On Aug 12, 7:04*pm, "Suzanne S.
