I have a Next Page section break that is followed by a paragraph mark and
then immediately followed by a soft page break. Why is the soft page break
there and how do I get rid of it? Currently it is printing a blank page and I
can't seem to eliminate it.

Thanks.

Examine the formatting of the paragraph following the break: it may be "Page
break before" or "Keep with next" (and one of many KWN paragraphs in
sequence).

I'm not sure why it worked but when I converted the screen image following
the soft page break to a screen image inside a table, I was able to delete
the paragraph mark and then the soft page break went way.

I had the same thing happen. Checking all the paragraph settings revealed no
problem. I finally found that I had the document set for different odd page
headers and footers. Once I removed that, everything worked fine.

When you have "Different odd and even" enabled, Word assumes you plan to
duplex. If you restart numbering in the new section, it will change your
Next Page break to Odd Page (and insert a blank even page) because page 1
must be a recto page.
