last page removal issue
Hi,
I have a word document report that has a blank A3 paper size page at the end of it. The rest of the document are in A4 size. My aim here is to try to get rid of it. I have tried to understand the article http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htmbut to no avail. I have got rid of both the footer and header by breaking the link on that last page. I have also clicked on the hide/show button. There is nothing else on it. On the second last page, there is a section break (next page) at the end of it. When i removed it, all of the document turned into A3 paper size (just like the last page). The formatting is stuffed. I wonder if i could get your help on this. It really drives me crazy and i need to get this report handed over by today. Thank you in advance |

With the insertion point in the A4 section, go to Page Setup. Don't make any
changes, but click OK rather than Cancel. Then move the insertion point to the A3 section and press F4. This will repeat the document formatting you just okayed in the A4 section (including changing the paper size to A4). Now you can safely delete the section break. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne for your reply.
It does the trick (i can see the paper size from A3 turned into A4 - that's what i want) but I lost the header and the footer for the rest of the document. Have i missed some steps here?

Hi Suzanne
Nevermind, i used the copy and paste method to restore both the header and footer. But just for curiosity, is this kind of normal that one would risk of losing the header and footer if one follows the steps shown in the previous thread.

Word has a habit of taking the subsequent Header & Footer information when it
comes to removing section breaks, don't know why but it does. Suzanne's instructions are spot on (as usualy) but I tend to do one step before the section break delete. After converting the section to A4, I would go to the Header and Footer, in quick succession, I turn on and off the "Link to previous" this brings over the layout/format you have in the preceding section. Now delete the section break, and voila, no blank H&Fs. You may find the following article very useful. http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...onscontent.htm All the best DeanH "Associates" wrote: Hi Suzanne Nevermind, i used the copy and paste method to restore both the header and footer.

I'm sorry, but from my reading of your question, I thought you had already
taken care of the header/footer issue (you mentioned unlinking). The article Dean references (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...thSections.htm) does go into a lot of detail about this, and the very last part of the article specifically describes how to remove an unwanted final section break. -- Suzanne S.
