I bought a 107 page lease agreement form which I wish to adjust to our golf
business. When I delete a section, the remaining text will not move up from
below. I have a half page blank and cannot fill it with the text from the
next page. If I put the cursor at the beginning of the blank space and press
'delete' to pull up the text below, the cursor winds up at the beginning of
the text on the next page.

I not an expert with Word but tried everything I know like removing page
breaks, make continuous etc but no luck. Any ideas?

Most likely, the first paragraph that starts on a new page has been
formatted with the "Page break before" attribute, in the Format
Paragraph dialog on the Lines & Page Breaks tab.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm, particularly the
part headed "Blank page in the middle of a document".

Thank you so much!! It wasn't page break before but was the box which said
"keep lines together". I never would have seen that. I have paragraphs a
half page long and they couldn't fit into a quarter page blank spot.

Merry Christmas
