Every second page in a long document is coming up blank, how do I bulk remove them?
I have been working on a very large RTF Word Document (more than 9,000 pages). To make things easier on myself I tried to make it so that every time the text reads "/87" that it changes it to /87 with a page break. I thought this had worked well, but partway through the document I noticed that every time I get to a /87 it adds a completely blank page, before resuming the document as per normal. Is there some way to kill off these errant blank pages (other than doing it manually), which are occurring every second page? I've attached what it looks like ahead of where the page break is supposed to be. |

Perhaps you did that replace twice so you ended up with pairs of manual page breaks everywhere. Change to draft view to see whether this is the case.
You can do a search for twin manual page breaks and replace them with a single one. find ^m^m replace with ^m
