I found another thread with helpful info but am still facing the same issue. I tried running the
macro suggested by Stefan, so it looks like my issue is different.
Also, for context, Tracked Changes is off, and there are no comments or tracked changes currently in the document.
I also tried Suzanne's suggestion from the linked thread to use Odd Page Breaks, but this did not change the outcome either (I do not believe I have a cover page, but I tried it anyway just in case).
