Lose header/footer after deleting last page of document
I have a document with headers & footers (different header for first page). I
ended up with an extra page in the document and I can't delete it without deleting my headers and footers at the same time. |

Lose header/footer after deleting last page of document
Data for headers and footer is 'stored' in the final paragraph mark of the
document: delete that and, as you observe, you delete the headers and footers also. If the superfluous page is a result of a string of empty paragraph marks, try deleting all but the final one. Failing that, select the final paragraph and format it so it fits onto the previous page: make sure it's not set to 'New page' with no space before or after, set the font size to 1 pt.

Lose header/footer after deleting last page of document
The headers and footers are stored in the final paragraph mark of the
document (or in section breaks, if you have any of those). When you select the page to delete, make sure you don't select the last paragraph mark. That's easiest to do if you display nonprinting characters by clicking the ¶ button on the toolbar.

Lose header/footer after deleting last page of document
I suspect a section break must have been involved in the deletion some way
or other because Word won't really let you delete the last paragraph mark (it may appear that you've deleted it, but the section formatting it contains will be transferred up the line somehow, and you can't delete the last paragraph mark after a table or section break. -- Suzanne S.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. It's not a page break but a section break I
can't delete. The paragraph marker is after the section break. "cynwalker" wrote: I have a document with headers & footers (different header for first page). I ended up with an extra page in the document and I can't delete it without deleting my headers and footers at the same time. |

Deleting a Section Break (be in Normal View)
You have to be in NORMAL VIEW to delete a section break, I found after much hair pulling, trying to delete one in Page Layout View.

You *can* delete it in Page/Print Layout view, but it's certainly a lot
easier to see in Normal view. -- Suzanne S.
