Cannot Remove Added Page At End of Document!
Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with Word 2007. I created a resume from a template that I downloaded from the Word database and it created an extra page at the end of the document that I absolutely cannot delete. I've tried going into View -- Draft then Home -- Paragraph -- Show/ Hide, but it won't let me delete the page break. I've also tried highlighting the page and pressing delete, but I can't seem to highlight the second page without highlighting the text on the first page and therefore I cannot delete the second page without deleting the first. Any ideas? This resume is part of my application to law school and I need it perfect. I can't have an extra page in the document with nothing on it. Thanks! |

No matter what you do, the effect will be seen on your machine with your
printer driver. If you submit a document to someone else, they will see it formatted on their machine for their printer and you have no idea how it will look. Create a PDF without the extra page. There is a free download available from Microsoft to enable creation of PDFs from Word 2007 documents, or there are other free PDF creation tools out there. -- Enjoy, Tony wrote in message ...

To add to Tony's answer, if the resume has been set out in a table in order
to make alignment easy, then the final character will be a paragraph mark because tables must ALWAYS be followed by a paragraph mark. Turn on the non-printing characters (Ctrl+Shift+8) and see if there is just that single paragraph mark on the final blank page? If that is what is happening, you may be able to get rid of it by selecting it and use Format, Font to make it just 1 point. Or if you select it and again use Format Font to assign it a hidden character attribute: when you toggle off the non-printing characters, the final page should disappear. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP wrote in message ...

I followed your directions and made the paragraph mark 1pt size and hidden, but after I hit ctrl + shift + 8 again, the page still remained. If I select the 2nd page there's now a tiny 1pt blinking cursor, but I can't seem to delete the page. |

You haven't succeeded in making it Hidden, apparently. I find that
Ctrl+Shift+H doesn't do it. You have to select the paragraph mark every carefully and go to Format | Font and check the Hidden box. -- Suzanne S.

Actually, the easiest approach is to create a paragraph style that includes
the hidden attribute (and/or the line spacing and font size settings discussed earlier in this thread), and apply it to the relevant blank paragraphs. To avoid possible confusion when pressing Enter in the text, you'd better make sure to set the "Style for following paragraph" to, say, the Normal style, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

Stefan
That's a good point. Creating a Style called something logical such as 'EndPage' with font set to hidden would make it so easy to apply (I wonder why I didn't think of this before!)

I agree this is clever. I have so little need for this that a style hadn't
occurred to me, either. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Stefan That's a good point.
